Concurrent changes in physical activity and body mass index among 66 852 public sector employees over a 16-year follow-up: multitrajectory analysis of a cohort study in Finland.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo identify concurrent developmental trajectories of physical activity and body mass index (BMI) over time.
designProspective cohort study, repeated survey.
settingCohort study in Finland.
participants66 852 public sector employees, who have been followed up for 16 years. OUTCOME MEASURES: Shapes of trajectories of changes in physical activity and BMI.
resultsAt baseline, mean age was 44.7 (SD 9.4) years, BMI 25.1 (SD 4.1) kg/m
conclusionsChanges in BMI and physical activity might be interconnected. The results may be of interest for both clinicians and other stakeholders with respect to informing measures targeting increasing physical activity and controlling weight, especially among middle-aged people. Additionally, the information on the established trajectories may give individuals motivation to change their health behaviour.
