Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in Successful Weight Loss Maintainers.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06239831 (Postoperative Respiratory and Activity Monitoring), which is not on this map. Cited by 34 papers, 2 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.

Abstract
objectiveThe objective of this study was to compare patterns of objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA, ≥ 3.00 metabolic equivalents [METs]), light-intensity physical activity (LPA, 1.50-2.99 METs), and sedentary behavior (SB, < 1.50 METs) in successful weight loss maintainers (WLMs), normal weight controls (NC), and controls with overweight/obesity (OC).
methodsParticipants (18-65 y) were recruited in three groups: WLM (maintaining ≥ 13.6-kg weight loss for ≥ 1 year, n = 30), NC (BMI matched to current BMI of WLM, n = 33), and OC (BMI matched to pre-weight loss BMI of WLM, n = 27). All participants wore the activPAL for 1 week.
resultsCompared with OC and NC, WLM spent more awake time in total MVPA (WLM: 9.6 ± 3.9%, NC: 7.1 ± 2.1%, OC: 5.9 ± 2.0%; P < 0.01) and more time in sustained (≥ 10 min) bouts of MVPA (WLM: 39 ± 33, NC: 17 ± 14, OC: 9 ± 11 min/d; P < 0.01). Compared with OC, WLM and NC spent more awake time in LPA (WLM: 29.6 ± 7.9%, NC: 29.1 ± 8.3%, OC: 24.8 ± 6.7%; P = 0.04) and less awake time sedentary (WLM: 60.8 ± 9.3%, NC: 63.8 ± 9.5%, OC: 69.3 ± 7.5%; P < 0.01).
conclusionsResults provide additional data supporting the important role of MVPA in weight loss maintenance and suggest notable differences in LPA and SB between normal weight individuals and those with overweight/obesity. Increasing LPA and/or decreasing SB may be additional potential targets for weight management interventions.
