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

Physical activity, maintaining healthy weight, eating fruits and vegetables, and non-smoking are health behaviors that reduce risk for a variety of poor health outcomes. This analysis reports frequencies and socio-demographic correlates of these behaviors among 381 Cambodians aged 25 and older surveyed in Lowell, MA. The majority reported some physical activity (72 %), healthy weight (62 %), and not smoking (77 %). Only 28 % reported adequate fruit and vegetable consumption. Four multivariable models indicate that (1) physical activity was associated with higher income, lower levels of US education, reading English, and living in the US 11-19 years; (2) healthy weight with living in the US 20 or more years; (3) not smoking with being female and living in the US less than 11 years; and (4) adequate fruit and vegetable consumption with lower levels of US education and reading English. These results inform public health planning for Cambodians.
