Lifetime risk factors for leisure-time physical inactivity in mid-adulthood.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We aimed to identify factors from different life-stages that were associated with inactivity at two adult ages and stability and change between these ages. Leisure-time inactivity (activity frequency <1/wk) was assessed at 33y and 50y in the 1958 British Birth cohort (N = 12,271). We created scores representing several domains, i.e. physical health, mental function, social, family and neighbourhood circumstances at different life-stages, and examined associations with adult inactivity. 31% were inactive at 33y and 50y with 17% deteriorating to, and 18% improving from, inactivity. Adjusting for all domains and life-stages, most concurrent factors were associated with inactivity: e.g. per 1-unit worsening physical status (score range:0-2) OR
