Association between physical activity and insulin resistance using the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance independent of waist circumference.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Only a few studies have evaluated the relationship between physical activity (PA) and Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Therefore, we aimed to analyze the association between HOMA-IR and PA. We included 280,194 Korean without diabetes who underwent health examinations. The short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was completed. PA level was divided into sedentary, mild PA, and health-enhancing PA (HEPA). The HOMA-IR levels were calculated. Confounding factors including waist circumference were adjusted. The median follow-up duration was 4.13 years. A significant inverse relationship was observed between PA level and HOMA-IR (p < 0.001). Compared with the sedentary group, HOMA-IR was lower in the HEPA group (p < 0.001), even when HEPA group decreased PA level over time (p < 0.001). Mild PA (p < 0.001) or HEPA showed a lower risk of HOMA-IR progression (p < 0.001). Increasing PA or maintaining HEPA was significantly associated with a lower HOMA-IR (p < 0.001), HOMA-IR improvement (p < 0.001), and a lower risk of HOMA-IR progression (p < 0.001). Our findings support the inverse relationship between PA and HOMA-IR in a population without diabetes. PA might improve IR and prevent its progression among populations without diabetes, independent of the waist circumference.
