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

This study aimed to identify key predictors of physical inactivity and prolonged sedentary behavior among stroke survivors (SSs) using data from the 2016-2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Surveys. Of the 28,146 participants, 633 had a history of stroke. The results showed that SSs were significantly more likely to be physically inactive and spend longer sedentary times than controls. Multivariate analysis identified that age ≥ 80 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 5.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.96-15.15), lower education level (≤ 9 years) (aOR = 2.18, 95%CI 1.13-4.18), and living in rural areas (aOR = 1.91, 95%CI 1.11-3.29) were associated with aerobic physical inactivity. Female sex (aOR = 2.36, 95%CI 1.28-4.35) and lower education (aOR = 2.31, 95%CI 1.01-5.34) were linked to insufficient resistance exercises (≤ 1 day per week). Long sedentary time (≥ 8 h daily) was associated with being economically inactive (aOR = 1.90, 95%CI 1.21-2.96), single (aOR = 1.68, 95%CI 1.07-2.64), and perceiving oneself as unhealthy (aOR = 1.59, 95%CI 1.01-2.49). These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, including community-based exercise programs and policy initiatives, to reduce sedentary behavior and promote physical activity among SSs. Implementing accessible and tailored rehabilitation strategies may help mitigate long-term health risks in this population.
