Association between physical activity and the utilization of general practitioners in different age groups.

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
backgroundPhysical activity (PA) is an important tool in health promotion, prevention, curation, and rehabilitation and should be part of general practitioners (GP) consultations. For tailoring GP's service it is important to know the PA habits of the clients.
methodsData from the Austrian Health Interview Survey 2014 with 15,770 subjects were analyzed. The association between PA, measured with the Physical Activity Questionnaire of the European Health Intervies Survey (EHIS-PAQ) and having visited a GP within the last 4 weeks was examined in different age groups (15-29, 30-64, and 65+ years). In multivariate analyses we adjusted for sociodemographic and health-related variables (body mass index, 17 chronic diseases, and the use of medication).
resultsIn subjects aged 15-29 years and 30-64 years fulfilling aerobic PA recommendations was significantly associated with a lower chance of having consulted the GP with unadjusted OR (95% CI) 0.82 (0.70-0.96) and 0.90 (0.82-0.99), respectively, whereas work-related PA was associated with a higher chance, with OR 1.21 (1.03-1.42) and 1.10 (1.00-1.20), respectively. Adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related factors led to loss of significance. In subjects aged 30-64 years, muscle strengthening PA was associated with a higher chance for GP consultation with OR 1.12 (1.00-1.24) in the fully adjusted model. In subjects aged 65+ years, PA was associated with a lower chance of having visited the GP with OR 0.74 (0.64-0.86) and 0.83 (0.71-0.97) for work related PA and total PA, respectively, in the fully adjusted model.
conclusionThe association of PA and GP consultation is dependent on age and type of PA, and partly mediated by sociodemographic and health-related factors.
