Association between physical activity and stroke in a middle-aged and elderly Chinese population.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundAccumulating evidence has reported that physical activity (PA) is effective in reducing stroke and mortality. However, whether PA levels are associated with stroke in middle-aged and elderly people in Jiangxi Province of China remains unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the association between PA and the risk of stroke in Jiangxi Province of China.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jiangxi Province of China from November 2013 to August 2014, using standardized questionnaire forms and physical measurements. Self-reported PA was assessed using the international PA questionnaire. A history of stroke was self-reported by answering the questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between PA levels and the risk of stroke after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and disease-related risk factors.
resultsA total of 10,398 participants (4240 men and 6158 women, aged 45 to 97 years) completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Compared with low-intensity PA, vigorous PA was associated with graded reduction in the risk of stroke (odds ratio [OR] of 0.763, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.717-0.812, P < .001 for trend). However, there were no significant differences between individuals in the low-intensity PA and moderate-intensity PA group (P > 0.05).
conclusionsCompared with low PA, vigorous PA, but not moderate PA, was associated with a lower risk of stroke in middle aged and elderly people in southern China, specifically among men. These findings suggested that increasing PA is beneficial.
