1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the influence of climatic conditions on the daily physical activities of elderly individuals by comparing the physical activity during seasons with and without snowfall. [Participants and Methods] In total, 35 participants attending the Health Promotion Program conducted by Chitose City Office participated in this study. The survey for the seasons with snowfall was conducted in February 2016, while the survey for the seasons without snowfall was conducted in September 2015. The physical activity of the participants was measured using a Kenz Lifecorder GS accelerometer. [Results] Physical activity was found to be significantly lower during seasons with snowfall than in seasons without snowfall. Multivariate analysis revealed that physical activity significantly increased with lower temperature during the seasons with snowfall, and it significantly increased with higher temperature and decreased with larger amounts of precipitation during the seasons without snowfall. [Conclusion] It was found that the climatic conditions affect the level of physical activity during seasons with and without snowfall. A lower level of physical activity was observed in areas that received snowfall than in areas that did not receive snowfall.
