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

backgroundWhile the clinical signs of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are not usually visible until adulthood, the CVD pathology begins already in childhood.

objectivesTo study the associations of physical activity (PA) and dietary fat quality with arterial health among adolescents.

methodsAltogether 117 adolescents 15-17 years of age participated in the study. Sedentary time (ST), light PA, moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA), PA energy expenditure (PAEE), resistance training volume and dietary fat quality were assessed. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) were assessed by impedance cardiography, and carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) and carotid artery distensibility were assessed by carotid ultrasonography.

resultsST was negatively associated with cIMT (standardised regression coefficient β = -0.225, p = 0.015). MVPA and PAEE were negatively associated with PWV (β = -0.245 to -0.228, p < 0.05) and CAVI (β = -0.226 to -0.212, p < 0.05), and positively with cIMT (β = 0.235 to 0.269, p < 0.05). MVPA was positively associated with carotid artery distensibility (β = 0.180, p = 0.047). Monounsaturated fat intake was positively associated with carotid artery distensibility (β = 0.190, p = 0.041). PAEE was negatively associated with CAVI in adolescents with higher saturated fat (SFA) intake (β = -0.367, p = 0.017), but not in adolescents with lower SFA intake (β = -0.095, p = 0.526).

conclusionMVPA and PAEE were related to better arterial health. Moreover, our results suggest that higher PAEE benefits adolescents with higher SFA intake.
