Leisure time physical activity, sedentary behavior, and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality among US Veterans.
Article in Journal of novel physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the US. Although physical activity (PA) has been inversely associated with the risk of CVD, few studies have examined whether sedentary behaviors modify such association. Our goal was to examine associations of leisure time PA with risk of CVD and mortality and the role of sedentary behavior as potential effect modifier among US veterans.
methodsWe analyzed self-reported data on leisure time PA, television watching, and time spent on the computer among 438,364 participants of the Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Program from 2011 to 2018. We calculated metabolic equivalent of task-hours per week (MET-h/week) for each person and used electronic health record data to ascertain CVD.
resultsMean age was 64.6 ± 12.6 years and 92% were men. During a mean follow up of 3.3 years, we observed 22,942 new cases of CVD and 48,325 deaths. There was an inverse relation of leisure time PA with CVD and total mortality [HR: 0.96 (0.95-0.97) and 0.91 (0.90-0.92) per 2 MET-h/week increment for CVD and total mortality, respectively]. The associations of PA with both incident CVD and mortality were stronger in participants who spent more time watching television or on computer (all p values for interaction < 0.01). No interaction of PA with time spent on video game was observed (p>0.05).
conclusionsLeisure time PA is inversely associated with risk of CVD and mortality among US veterans and such relations were stronger in participants who spent more time watching television or on computer.
