Leisure Time Physical Activity Levels in Immigrants by Ethnicity and Time Since Immigration to Canada: Findings from the 2011-2012 Canadian Community Health Survey.

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
New immigrants to Canada are mostly from Asian/South Asian countries currently experiencing low levels of physical activity (PA) and high rates of overweight/obesity. Little is known about the leisure time PA (LTPA) patterns of recent immigrants. Study sample was extracted from Canadian Community Health Survey (2011-2012). Based on reported daily energy expenditure on LTPAs over past 3 months, participants were categorized as physically active, moderately active, and inactive. Likelihood of being physically inactive was estimated for recent immigrants versus established immigrants. Higher proportion of recent immigrants were inactive (60%) compared to established immigrants (53%). Adjusted models estimated a higher likelihood of inactivity among recent immigrants (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.13, 1.72) versus established immigrants. Inactivity was higher among immigrants of visible minorities, 58.8 versus 46.7% of white immigrants. Recent immigrants of visible minorities are at higher risk of being inactive. This highlights importance of developing programs to increase PA in specific groups of new immigrants.
