Physical activity and vascular comorbidity in Black and White persons with multiple sclerosis: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPhysical activity and sedentary behavior have been associated with vascular comorbidity in multiple sclerosis (MS), yet the associations have not been thoroughly investigated in MS subpopulations as a function of race.
objectivesThis study examined if physical activity levels/sedentary time and vascular comorbidity differed between Black and White persons with MS, and further examined the associations between the variables within the two MS subpopulations.
methodsParticipants (n = 208) completed the comorbidity questionnaire in MS and wore accelerometers for seven days as a device-measure of physical activity levels/sedentary time. We examined the effect of race on physical activity levels/sedentary time and vascular comorbidity, controlling for covariates, using ANCOVA. We further performed bivariate correlations among variables in Black and White persons with MS separately.
resultsOnly moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was significantly different between Black and White persons with MS, even after controlling for age, disease duration, marital status, education level, and income [F(1,177) = 9.01, p = .003, d = 0.16]. There was only a significant and moderate association between MVPA and vascular comorbidity in White persons with MS (r = -0.33).
conclusionsThe findings indicate that MVPA is higher in White than Black persons with MS, and that more MVPA was associated with lower vascular comorbidity in White persons with MS. Physical activity behavior might be a potential target for managing vascular comorbidity in White persons with MS.
