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

objectivesThis study examines the cross-sectional association between relatively lower-intensity physical activity (LIPA) during leisure time and presenteeism, accounting for relatively higher-intensity physical activity (HIPA) during leisure time.

methodsData were derived from 11 438 workers from 6 worksites of large companies in Japan, which participated in a questionnaire survey conducted between fiscal years 2018 and 2020. Frequency and duration per occasion were assessed for leisure-time physical activities at 3 intensities as determined by shortness of breath. LIPA was defined as activity not causing shortness of breath. The participants were divided into 3 groups according to LIPA volume (none, <60 min/wk, or ≥60 min/wk) and into 2 groups according to HIPA volume (none or engaged). A single question assessed the participants' presenteeism through self-ratings of their work performance. A multivariable Poisson regression model with a robust variance estimator estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) of presenteeism and their 95% CIs across the categories for both LIPA and HIPA.

resultsThe prevalence of presenteeism tended to decrease with increasing amounts of LIPA and HIPA (P for trend <.001). Among those who did not engage in HIPA, a significantly lower prevalence of presenteeism was observed among individuals who engaged in LIPA for ≥60 min/wk compared with those who did not (adjusted PR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.68-0.81).

conclusionsThis study supports the protective role of LIPA during leisure time that does not cause shortness of breath against presenteeism among workers who do not engage in HIPA during leisure time.
