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

objectiveTo quantify moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) at postpartum in women with recent gestational diabetes mellitus, using an accelerometer and self-reported measurements from participants of the LINDA-Brasil study. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn a cross-sectional sample (n = 391), MVPA was assessed via a waist-worn accelerometer and the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), focusing on leisure time and commuting domains.

resultsThe median postpartum period was 7.3 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 4.0-14.0). When restricted to 10-minute bouts, device-measured MVPA was 22.31 minutes/week (IQR: 0-65.8), whereas total time spent on MVPA was 213.8 minutes/week (IQR: 137.7-320.0). Higher education and pregnancy complications were associated with lower device-based MVPA. Self-reported leisure-time MVPA in 10-minute bouts was 0 minutes/week (IQR: 0-0). However, including commuting time, it increased to 90 minutes/week (IQR: 10.0-210.0). Based on total device-measured MVPA, 71.6% (CI 66.9-76.0) met the recommended 150 minutes/week. This proportion decreased to 8.4% (95% CI: 5.9-11.7) in 10-minute bouts MVPA. Based on the IPAQ, 7.4% (95% CI: 5.0-10.5) reached the guideline through leisure-time activity and 26.8% (95% CI: 22.5-31.5) through combined leisure and commuting.

conclusionWomen with gestational diabetes mellitus at postpartum were highly active based on device-measured MVPA. Nevertheless, applying the 10-minute bout reduced these estimates across devices and self-reported measurements. These findings provide crucial information for public policies addressing this high-risk population.
