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
aimSedentary behaviour may influence children's cardiometabolic health; however, evidence remains limited. This study investigated the associations between sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic outcomes in nine-year-old children and from 4 to 9 years of age. Associations between adherence to screen time guidelines and cardiometabolic outcomes at 9 years of age were also examined.
methodsMovement behaviours were assessed using accelerometers in 411 children at 4 and 9 years of age. Cardiometabolic outcomes at 9 years of age comprised blood pressure, lipid and glucose biomarkers, and a metabolic syndrome score. Screen time was assessed via questionnaire. Compositional data analysis and analysis of covariance were used.
resultsIncreasing sedentary behaviour at the expense of physical activity and sleep at 9 years of age was associated with higher systolic (p = 0.021) and diastolic (p = 0.019) blood pressure. Greater sedentary behaviour at 4 years of age was associated with higher diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.050) and lower high-density lipoprotein (p = 0.034) at 9 years of age. Children adhering to screen time guidelines had a lower metabolic syndrome score (p = 0.014), low-density lipoprotein (p = 0.045), and triglycerides (p = 0.022).
conclusionHigher sedentary behaviour and not adhering to screen time guidelines were associated with unfavourable cardiometabolic outcomes from 4 to 9 years and at 9 years of age.
