1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeA diagnosis of cancer (CAN) and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD) may influence physical activity levels; however, no study has examined the independent and combined associations of a CAN and CVD diagnosis with physical activity. The purpose of the present study was to examine the associations of the occurrence, order, and timing of a CAN and/or CVD diagnosis with physical activity in Korean adults.

methodsKorean adults who reported current physical activity and a previous CAN and/or CVD diagnosis in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2014 and 2019 were included in the study. Analysis of covariance and multinomial logistic regression were used to examine associations.

resultsOverall, 29,434 (90.1%) were diagnosed with neither disease, 1,591 (4.9%) with CAN only, 1,493 (4.6%) with CVD only, and 137 (0.4%) with both diseases. Participants diagnosed with CAN only reported more leisure-time and moderate physical activity than those diagnosed with neither disease and CVD only; and more walking than those diagnosed with neither disease, CVD only, and both diseases. Participants diagnosed with CVD only reported walking less than those diagnosed with neither disease. Participants diagnosed with both diseases reported no vigorous activity and less strength exercise than neither disease and CVD only. Few associations were found for the order and timing of diagnosis.

conclusionsKorean adults diagnosed with CAN only reported more physical activity than those diagnosed with CVD only, both diseases, and even neither disease. Understanding the differential impact of a disease diagnosis on physical activity may identify potential intervention strategies.
