Leisure-time physical activity and risk of type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
Synthesis in Endocrine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Published articles reported controversial results about the association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and risk of type 2 diabetes. A meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies was conducted to explore the effect of LTPA on the incidence of type 2 diabetes. PubMed and Embase databases were searched from its inception to June 13, 2014. Fixed or random effects models were used to calculate the pooled effect sizes based on between-study heterogeneity that was examined by the Q test and I (2) statistic. A total of eight studies, including 296,395 participants and 10,815 incident cases, were included in this study. Both high-level LTPA [high vs. low: hazard ratio (HR) 0.69, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.61-0.78] and moderate-level LTPA (moderate vs. low: HR 0.79, 95 % CI 0.70-0.89) were associated with decreased incidence of type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, LTPA was significantly associated with decreased risk of diabetes; high-level LTPA is more beneficial in decreasing the incidence of type 2 diabetes than moderate-level LTPA.
