Leisure time physical activity among older adults in Brazil: a time series analysis of a population-based survey (2009-2020).
Article in Cadernos de saude publica, 2023. 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
The practice of leisure time physical activity brings several health benefits, such as the prevention of noncommunicable diseases. Investigating the temporal trend of physical activity practice in older adults by sociodemographic characteristics and geographical regions could be important to plan public health policies and effective interventions. This is a time series study that analyzes the temporal trend of leisure time physical activity among Brazilian older adults with data from 2009 to 2020. For this, we used a sample of 186,097 older adults (≥ 60 years old) obtained from the Risk and Protective Factors Surveillance System for Chronic Noncomunicable Diseases Through Telephone Interview (Vigitel) (2009-2020). Information on leisure time physical activity and sociodemographic and health characteristics were collected. Prais-Winsten regression was used to identify significant trends in the annual variation of the leisure time physical activity indicators. Practice of ≥ 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity leisure time physical activity varied from 23.3% to 27.5% (0.41p.p./year) (2009-2020), with a higher increase during 2015-2020 (0.59p.p./year). The increase in the most recent period occurred among men, aged from 60 to 69 years, with lower educational level, residing in the Northeast Region, and without self-reported chronic diseases. These results may contribute to the evaluation of Brazilian health policies targeting the leisure time physical activity practice in older adults.
