Association between the Built Environment and Active Transportation among U.S. Adolescents.
Article in Journal of transport & health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
introductionAs a major determinant of obesity and cardiovascular disease in the United States, decreasing physical activity (PA) has led researchers to study factors influencing daily PA. One opportunity for modifying PA is in relation to transportation to and from school and/or work. We examined the association between characteristics of the built environment of home neighborhoods and transportation-related PA to school or work among youth and emerging adults.
methodsThe data were drawn from Waves 1 and 4 of the NEXT Generation Health Study (n=2780), a nationally representative, longitudinal cohort study starting with 10th grade (Wave 1) in the 2009-2010 school year. Modes of travel to/from school were categorized into three groups: those using active transportation (walking/cycling), public transportation, and passive transportation (being driven or chauffeured/driving). Neighborhood characteristics included land use mix, street connectivity, residence density, park density, recreational density, and walkability. Multinomial logistic regressions and one-way ANOVAs were used to examine multivariate associations between modes of travel to and from work/school and neighborhood characteristics. Analysis accounted for complex survey features including stratification, clustering and sampling weights.
resultsAfter controlling for covariates (i.e., ethnicity, sex, education, and socioeconomic status), more land use diversity, street connectivity, residence density, and walkability were significantly correlated with active transportation in both waves and more park and recreational density were significantly correlated with active transportation in Wave 1, compared with passive transportation.
conclusionsMore mixed land use, greater connected streets as well as higher walkability and density of residence, parks and recreational facilities were associated with active transportation; suggesting city planning officials may consider creating more walkable and liveable communities to promote daily transportation-related PA.
