Sitting Time, Physical Activity and Mortality: A Cohort Study In Low-Income Older Americans.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionPhysical inactivity and sedentary behavior are recognized as independent risk factors for many diseases. However, studies investigating their associations with total and cause-specific mortality in low-income and Black populations are limited, particularly among older adults.
methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted among 8,337 predominantly low-income and Black Americans aged ≥65 years residing in the southern United States. Participants reported their daily sitting time and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) at baseline (2002-2009), and mortality data were collected through 2019. Analysis was conducted from September 2022 to October 2023.
resultsDuring a median follow-up of 12.25 years, nearly 50% (n=4,111) were deceased. A prolonged sitting time (>10 hours/day versus <4 hours/day) was associated with elevated all-cause mortality (hazard ratios [HR], 1.15; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.04-1.27) after adjusting for LTPA and other potential confounders. LTPA was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, with an adjusted HR of 0.75 (95% CI 0.64, 0.88) associated with 150-300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity. Individuals who were physically inactive and had a sitting time of >10 hours/day had the highest mortality risk (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.23-1.78), compared with those who were physically active and had low sitting time. These associations were more pronounced for mortality due to cardiovascular diseases.
conclusionsHigh sitting time is an independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality, and LTPA could partially attenuate the adverse association of prolonged sitting time with mortality.
