Multiple trajectories of any intensities of physical activity are better than sustained sedentary time on improving waist circumference and body mass index among Chinese adults: China Health and Nutrition Survey, 2004-2018.

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
Higher levels of physical activity (PA) may be associated with more favorable measures of adiposity, and sedentary time (ST) is associated with adverse health outcomes independent of PA. We hypothesized that multiple routes of different PA intensities PA combined with ST would be associated with coexisting latent waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) trajectories among Chinese adults. Thus, we aimed to determine multiple routes of PA and ST and their associations with trajectories of WC and BMI. We used data from 13 137 adults in the China Health and Nutrition Survey between 2004 and 2018. Using group-based multitrajectory modeling, we determined multiple trajectories of light-, moderate-, and vigorous-intensity PA (LPA, MPA) and ST (PA trajectories) and concurrent WC and BMI trajectories. Then, we explored logit regressions between them. We identified 4 PA trajectories. The majority (high LPA, 43.5%) exhibited decreasing high LPA levels. The rest were high ST (9.0%), decreased MPA (15.8%), and high vigorous-intensity PA (31.7%). People with high ST showed higher odds of having abdominal obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 2.23) or severe abdominal obesity (OR = 1.73) than those with decreased MPA (OR = 1.85 and 1.71) and high LPA (OR = 1.43 for abdominal obesity). They also showed higher odds of being overweight (OR = 1.73) than those with decreased MPA (OR = 1.58) and high LPA (OR = 1.39). Any level of PA is better than sustained ST for improving adiposity indicators among Chinese adults.
