Associations of Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity with Obesity and Low Muscle Mass Among Postmenopausal Chinese Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To examine the associations of guideline-based moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels with obesity and low muscle mass in postmenopausal Chinese women. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 1578 postmenopausal women aged ≥45 years in Jiangsu, China were analyzed. Obesity was defined as body fat percentage ≥30% according to Chinese criteria, and low muscle mass as appendicular skeletal muscle index <5.7 kg/m Results: 27.7% (n=437) of women had obesity and 7.5% (n=118) had low muscle mass. Compared with women reporting <150 min/week of MVPA, those reporting 150-299 min/week and ≥300 min/week had lower odds of obesity. In fully adjusted models, the odds ratios were 0.55 (95% CI: 0.35-0.86) and 0.42 (95% CI: 0.29-0.61), respectively. The corresponding odds ratios for low muscle mass were 0.21 (95% CI: 0.07-0.68) and 0.30 (95% CI: 0.14-0.66). Conclusion: Higher MVPA was associated with lower odds of obesity. Inverse associations were also observed for low muscle mass, although this finding warrants cautious interpretation.
