Association between joint physical activity and alcohol intake and all-cause mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease: findings from NHANES 2007-2018.

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
Background: Physical activity and alcohol consumption are both highly prevalent in many countries, while the evidence related to joint effect on physical activity and alcohol consumption on patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) was still deficient. This study was aimed to investigate the association between joint moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and alcohol intake and all-cause mortality in patients with CVD. Methods: A total of 4,047 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) with self-reported CVD history, exercise and alcohol consumption amounts were included this study. Participants were stratified into 12 groups by MVPA level (none/insufficient/sufficient) and alcohol intake (abstainer/light/moderate/heavy). Restricted cubic spline and Cox regression models assessed mortality associations. Results: MVPA showed an L-shaped association with mortality, while alcohol exhibited a U-shaped pattern. The lowest observed mortality risk occurred in patients with MVPA ≥150 min/week and alcohol consumption 8.4-15.4 drinks/week (HR = 0.348, 95% CI: 0.169-0.667). Comparably lower risk was seen with MVPA <150 min/week plus light alcohol intake (<8.4 drinks/week) (HR = 0.400, 95% CI: 0.267-0.588). Conclusion: Among patients with established CVD, any level of MVPA was associated with survival benefits. The greatest mortality reduction occurred with >150 min/week of MVPA alongside light to moderate alcohol consumption (<15.4 drinks/week). However, comparable survival benefits were observed with <150 min/week of MVPA when coupled with light alcohol intake. MVPA remains the cornerstone for mortality risk reduction in this population.
