Sedentary behaviors and venous thromboembolism risk among older women: the Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health study.

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
backgroundVenous stasis, which can occur with prolonged sedentary behavior (SB), is associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk, but VTE risk associated with accelerometer-measured SB has not been quantified.
objectivesTo evaluate accelerometer-based measures of SB in relation to incident VTE.
methodsWe included 5591 participants, aged 63 to 99 years, of the Women's Health Initiative Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health cohort study without prior VTE. Between May 2012 and April 2014, participants wore the ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer at the hip for 7 days. Three SB measures were classified using the Convolutional Neural Network Hip Accelerometer Posture algorithm: total sitting time, mean sitting bout duration, and total time spent in prolonged (≥30 minutes) sitting bouts. VTE events were centrally adjudicated. Multivariable-adjusted Cox models estimated hazard ratios for each SB and VTE risk. Women were censored at first VTE, death, loss to follow-up, or February 2023. Mediation by body mass index (BMI) was evaluated.
resultsOver a mean follow-up of 8.2 years, 229 women experienced a VTE. In adjusted models, longer mean sitting bout duration was associated with greater incident VTE risk (hazard ratio per 5-minute increase, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.04-1.28). BMI mediated approximately 30% of this association (P < .01). We found no significant evidence that total sitting time or total time spent in prolonged sitting bouts were associated with VTE.
conclusionLonger mean sitting bout duration was associated with greater VTE risk, with substantial mediation by BMI. Behavioral efforts to reduce sedentary bout length in older women may reduce their VTE risk.
