Associations of physical activity volume and intensity with depression symptoms among US adults.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: This study aimed to investigate the associations of physical activity (PA) volume and intensity with the risk of depression symptoms. Methods: The data utilized in this study came from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. PA was measured using a triaxial accelerometer and calculated using the Monitor-Independent Movement Summary (MIMS), MIMS units are a novel metric derived from wrist-worn accelerometer data, representing the intensity of PA for each minute across the entire monitoring period. PA volume and intensity were expressed by the average of daily accumulated MIMS (Daily MIMS) and peak 30-min MIMS (Peak-30 Results: After adjusting for all covariates, higher Daily MIMS and Peak-30 Conclusion: Our findings indicate that higher PA volume and intensity are associated with lower depression risk. The association between PA volume and reduced depression risk was negated after adjusting for PA intensity in US adults.
