Physical Activity Levels and Diabetes Prevalence in US Adults: Findings from NHANES 2015-2016.

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
introductionDiabetes is a major public health problem that is strongly influenced by lifestyle-related factors, with previous epidemiologic studies finding an inverse relationship between physical activity and the prevalence of diabetes. We aimed to quantify the prevalence of diabetes and determine whether a dose-response relationship is present between physical activity levels and diabetes.
methodsPopulation characteristics were compared between diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the association between different levels of physical activity and diabetes. Restricted cubic spline analysis was used to examine the dose-response relationship between physical activity and diabetes prevalence.
resultsCompared with those in the lowest physical activity quartile, participants in the highest quartile had a 42% lower prevalence of diabetes (odds ratio = 0.58, 95% confidence interval = 0.44-0.75, p < 0.001). A nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed (p nonlinearity < 0.05), with increased physical activity associated with a decreased prevalence of diabetes, with steeper reductions in the prevalence of diabetes at low activity levels than at high activity levels. These results were robust in both subgroup and sensitivity analyses.
conclusionsHigher levels of physical activity are associated with a lower prevalence of diabetes. The data indicated the presence of a nonlinear dose-response relationship in all of the included subjects, with steeper reductions in the prevalence of diabetes at low activity levels than at high activity levels. Increasing physical activity is therefore potentially a useful intervention for reducing the prevalence of diabetes.
