Do young children consistently meet 24-h sleep and activity guidelines? A longitudinal analysis using actigraphy.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00892983 (Primary Prevention of Rapid Weight Gain in Early Childhood), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundExisting studies examining adherence to 24-h movement guidelines in young children are mostly cross sectional and have not assessed additional guidelines relating to activity intensity or regularity in sleep patterns. The aims of this study were to determine adherence to full sleep, activity, and sedentary behaviour guidelines from 1-5 years of age, whether adherence tracked over time, and how adherence was related to body composition cross sectionally and prospectively. SUBJECTS/
methodsData were obtained from 547 children who were participants in a randomised controlled trial. At 1, 2, and 5 years of age, children wore Actical accelerometers 24-h a day for 5-7 days, height and weight were measured, and parents completed questionnaires on screen time and restraint (1 and 2 years only). A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan measured body composition at 5 years of age.
resultsAlthough adherence to general sleep and activity guidelines was high, few children had regular sleep patterns. Adherence to all three guidelines ranged from 12.3 to 41.3% at the different ages, although these estimates decreased to 0.6-9.3% when activity intensity (60 min of energetic play) and sleep regularity (consistent sleep and wake times) were included. Children who met all three guidelines at a given age were more likely to meet all three guidelines at a subsequent age (odds ratio, 95% CI: 2.6, 1.04-6.4 at 1 year and 2.5, 1.1-5.9 at 2 years). However, adherence to meeting all three guidelines at earlier ages was not related to BMI z-score or body composition at age 5, either cross sectionally or prospectively.
conclusionsStrategies to promote adherence to movement guidelines among young children are warranted, particularly to reduce screen time, and encouraging regular sleep patterns.
