Physical inactivity and long-term rates of community-acquired sepsis.
Article in Preventive medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe authors sought to determine the association between physical inactivity (characterized by exercise and television watching levels) and long-term rates of community-acquired sepsis.
methodsThe study utilized a population-based cohort of 30,183 adult (≥45 years) community dwelling adults. Subjects reported weekly exercise (low=none, medium=1-3times/week, high=≥4times/week) and daily television watching (low=<1h/day, medium=1-3h/day, high=≥4h/day) levels. The authors evaluated the association between exercise, television watching and rates of sepsis, defined as hospital treatment for a serious infection with ≥2 Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria.
resultsAmong 30,183 participants, 1500 experienced a sepsis event. Reported weekly exercise was: high 8798 (29.2%), medium 10,695 (35.4%), and low 10,240 (33.9%). Where available, reported daily television watching was: low 4615 (19.6%), medium 11,587 (49.3%) and high 7317 (31.1%). Decreased weekly exercise was associated with increased adjusted sepsis rates (high - referent; medium - HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.96-1.20; low - 1.33, 1.13-1.56). Daily television watching was not associated with sepsis rates. Sepsis rates were highest among those with both low exercise and high television watching levels (HR 1.49, 95% CI: 1.10-2.01).
conclusionsPhysical inactivity may be associated with increased long-term rates of community-acquired sepsis.
