Metabolic equivalent determination in the cultural dance of hula.
Article in International journal of sports medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Ethnic minorities share an unequal burden of cardiometabolic syndrome. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be an important factor for improving the outcomes of these diseases. While metabolic equivalents (METs) have been calculated for diverse activities, most cultural activities have not been evaluated. Hula, the traditional dance of Native Hawaiians, is practiced by men and women of all ages but its MET value is unknown. To our knowledge, this is the first scientific evaluation of energy expenditure of hula. 19 competitive hula dancers performed 2 dance sets of low- and high-intensity hula. METs were measured with a portable indirect calorimetry device. Mean and standard deviations were calculated for all the variables. A 2-way ANOVA was conducted to identify differences for gender and intensity. The mean MET were 5.7 (range 3.17-9.77) and 7.55 (range 4.43-12.0) for low-intensity and high-intensity, respectively. There was a significant difference between intensities and no significant difference between genders. This study demonstrates that the energy expenditure of both low- and high-intensity hula met the recommended guidelines for moderate and vigorous intensity exercise, respectively, and that hula can be utilized as a prescribed PA.
