Effects of daily walking on intermuscular adipose tissue accumulation with age: a 5-year follow-up of participants in a lifestyle-based daily walking program.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeIntermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) accumulates with age. However, there has been no long-term intervention study examining whether daily walking prevents or decreases the age-related IMAT accumulation. The purpose of this study was to determine effects of a long-term lifestyle-based daily walking program on age-related IMAT accumulation after a 5-year follow-up.
methodsUsing a pedometer, daily step count was evaluated for 5 years in 24 middle-aged and elderly male and female participants. Using magnetic resonance imaging, thigh muscle, thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue, IMAT, abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, and visceral adipose tissue were examined at baseline and after 5 years.
resultsAfter 5 years, there was no significant increase in IMAT in all participants. In addition, IMAT significantly decreased in participants with a daily step count of > 9000 (4.0 ± 2.1 vs. 3.1 ± 1.6 cm
conclusionsLong-term lifestyle-based daily walking program prevented the age-related IMAT accumulation in middle-aged and elderly adults. Furthermore, increased daily walking correlated with decreased IMAT over 5 years.
