1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Physical activity could reduce the risk of depression and anxiety. A 24-h day includes time spent sleeping, in sedentary behavior (SB), or engaging in physical activities. However, the joint and combined associations of these 24-h movement behaviors with depressive and anxiety symptoms remain unclear. Aim: To investigate the compositional associations of 24-h movement behaviors with depressive and anxiety symptoms in a population-based sample of middle-aged adults. Methods: The study population ( Results: Compositional 24-h movement behaviors were significantly associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Higher MVPA relative to other components of 24-h movement behaviors was associated with significantly lower depressive and anxiety symptoms. A 30-min reallocation of time from SB to MVPA was associated with 9.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.3%, 11.6%) lower depressive symptoms and 4.5% (95% CI: 2.1%, 6.9%) lower anxiety symptoms assessed with BDI-II and GAD-7 tools, respectively. Similar patterns of associations were observed in the time reallocation analysis when depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed with the HSCL-25 screening tool. Conclusion: Each component of 24-h movement behaviors was associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Among the component parts of 24-h movement behaviors, MVPA was most strongly associated with lower depressive and anxiety symptoms, whereas LPA only showed marginal favorable benefits.
