Sitting time among adolescents across 26 Asia-Pacific countries: a population-based study.
Synthesis in International journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo assess the prevalence of sitting time (ST) and examine sex and age disparities in the prevalence among adolescents from Asia-Pacific countries.
methodsWe used the Global School-based Student Health Survey data (n = 101,785) from 26 Asia-Pacific countries and computed the pooled prevalence of high ST (≥ 3 h/day) using random effect meta-analysis. We used logistic regression to examine sex and age disparities in the prevalence, and meta-regression to assess whether the prevalence was associated with common global indices.
resultsThe overall prevalence of ST was 29.9% (95% CI 24.1-35.8) with 29.8% (24.4-35.2) among male and 29.9% (23.4-36.3) female adolescents. Males had higher odds of high ST than females in seven countries, while females had higher odds in six countries. Older adolescents had higher prevalence than their younger counterparts. High ST was more common in high-income countries and was positively associated with country Human Development Index (β = 1.28, 95% CI 0.88-1.68).
conclusionContinued monitoring of adolescents' ST is warranted in this region to generate consistent and comparable surveillance data that can inform policies and actions for the health and well-being of the regional adolescents.
