Physical activity patterns of American Indian and Alaskan Native people living in Alaska and the Southwestern United States.

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
purposeAssessment of self-reported physical activity (PA) and effects on health measures.
designCross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a cohort study.
settingEducation and Research Towards Health study participants from Alaska and the Southwestern United States enrolled from 2004 to 2007. SUBJECTS: Total of 10,372 American Indian and Alaskan Native people (AI/AN) of at least 18 years. MEASURES: Participants completed computer-assisted, self-administered questionnaires, and anthropometric and health measurements were taken of each participant. ANALYSIS: Analysis of variance, chi2 tests, and multiple linear regressions were used.
resultsAlmost 23% of participants reported less than 30 minutes per week of moderate or vigorous activities. Half (49%) reported no vigorous activities. Characteristics associated with more time spent performing vigorous activity were male gender, age less than 40 years, higher income and education levels, and living in a rural area. Almost 70% of Alaskan participants and 36% of Southwest participants engaged in wild food-harvesting activities. Participants with higher levels of activity had significantly better clinical characteristics (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, body mass index, and waist circumference).
conclusionAI/AN people engage in many different physical activities, including traditional harvesting activities. Women had lower levels of PA than men, and participation in vigorous PA was associated with better clinical characteristics. These data can be used to guide health promotion efforts in AI/AN populations.
