Association between physical activity level and diabetes incidence among Chinese middle-aged and older adults: a cross-sectional study from the China health and retirement longitudinal study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: It has been shown that diabetes is associated with insufficient physical activity among middle-aged and older adults, but the association between different physical activity levels (PAL) and diabetes incidence needs to be further explored. Objective: This study aims to explore the correlation and dose-response relationship between different PAL and the diabetes incidence in middle-aged and older adults. Methods: Utilizing data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), this cross-sectional analysis included 17,226 middle-aged and older adults aged 45 and above. Binary logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to explore the correlation and dose-response relationship between different PAL and the incidence of diabetes in the total middle-aged and older adults population as well as in subgroups. Sensitivity analyses were also performed to verify the robustness of the findings. Results: In the entire study population, compared with the lowest PAL, participants in the third and fourth quartiles PAL saw diabetes incidence significantly reduced by 16% ( Conclusion: Higher PAL was associated with lower diabetes incidence in specific Chinese middle-aged and older adults population. It is feasible to use physical activity to predict diabetes incidence in this demographic, and high PAL may be an effective means of preventing and controlling diabetes.
