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

objectivesTo examine the four possible combinations of adherence to physical activity and screen time recommendations in adolescents and how the combinations relate to overweight and obesity.

methodsA total of 9913 students in grades 7-12 were included in the present cross-sectional analyses. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), screen time, and body mass index were self-reported. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to test the associations between combinations of MVPA (≥ 60 min/day [active] or < 60 min/day [inactive]) and screen time (≤ 2 h/day [not sedentary] or > 2 h/day [sedentary]) recommendations with overweight/obesity.

resultsWe found that 53.1% of students in Ontario were considered "inactive+sedentary", 23.7% were considered "inactive+not sedentary", 12.1% were considered "active+sedentary", and 11.1% were considered "active+not sedentary". Some characteristics of "active+not sedentary" students (optimal category) included younger age, male gender, white ethnicity, higher socio-economic status, optimal sleep duration, and lower prevalence of cannabis use. After adjusting for relevant covariates, the "inactive+sedentary" group was more likely to report overweight/obesity than the "active+not sedentary" group (odds ratio [OR] = 1.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.26-2.32). The "inactive+not sedentary" group was also more likely to report overweight/obesity (OR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.20-1.97) while the "active+sedentary" group was not significantly associated with overweight/obesity (OR = 1.27, 95% CI 0.88-1.83).

conclusionChildren meeting both the physical activity and screen time recommendations are less likely to be classified as overweight/obese compared with any other combination. Future efforts are needed to target both MVPA and sedentary behaviour to address public health concerns such as excess weight.
