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

Background: Increasing physical activity is recommended as a non-pharmacological approach for improving the symptoms, quality of life, and overall health in patients with asthma. However, the systemic effect of physical activity, especially sedentary behavior, in patients with asthma remains unclear. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of objectively measured physical activity, including sedentary time, with body composition data and clinical characteristics in patients with asthma. Methods: The study included 85 patients with asthma and 38 healthy controls. Physical activity indices were assessed for 2 weeks using accelerometers. We investigated the relationship between physical activity levels and clinical characteristics, along with its association with body composition data assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography in patients with asthma. Results: In patients with asthma, high blood eosinophil counts and poor asthma control, as assessed by the Asthma Control Questionnaire score, were associated with prolonged sedentary time and reduced step count. Moreover, reduced step count was independently associated with an elevated fat mass index, whereas a prolonged sedentary time and high oral corticosteroid doses were independently associated with a low lean mass index in patients with asthma. Prolonged sedentary time demonstrated a negative correlation with erector spinae muscle area after adjusting for background factors. Conclusion: Sedentary behavior and physical inactivity are associated with body composition in patients with asthma, suggesting the need for interventions targeting these behaviors to improve health outcomes.
