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.
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
Introduction: Physical activity may influence symptoms of depression and anxiety, especially among healthcare professionals exposed to high levels of occupational stress. Objectives: To investigate the association between physical activity levels and symptoms of depression and anxiety in professionals at a Brazilian university hospital, using analyses based on continuous scores. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted with 199 professionals from medical, healthcare, and administrative areas. Habitual physical activity, depression symptoms, and anxiety symptoms were assessed using standardized questionnaires. The association between physical activity and symptoms was analyzed using generalized linear models, adjusted for sex, age, and body mass index, considering both overall and area-specific analyses. Results: The sample was predominantly female, from the healthcare area, and sedentary. Regarding categorical prevalence, 44.2% of professionals presented symptoms of depression and 54.2% symptoms of anxiety. In analyses based on continuous scores, individuals classified as active and very active had lower depression and anxiety scores compared to sedentary individuals. Stratification by area of work confirmed the inverse association, especially among medical and healthcare professionals. Conclusions: Higher levels of physical activity were significantly associated with lower symptoms of depression and anxiety among professionals at a Brazilian university hospital.
