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

In Poland-especially in the less developed eastern regions-the level of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) remains below the WHO recommendations, and its determinants are not yet fully understood. The study was conducted as part of the international EUPASMOS PLUS project on a sample of 173 adult individuals living in eastern Poland. Physical activity was measured using accelerometers worn continuously for seven days (24/7). The duration of moderate and vigorous physical activity as well as episodes of physical activity lasting at least 10 min were analyzed. The median daily MVPA time was 50 min, and the median VPA time only 10 s, both below WHO recommendations of 150 min/week of MVPA or 75 min/week of VPA. Overall, more than 70% of participants did not meet the recommended levels. The level of HEPA was found to be below WHO recommendations, especially among men, individuals over 50 years old, and those who were professionally inactive. Higher physical activity levels were recorded among women and younger participants. Significant correlations were found between HEPA level and self-rated health status (ρ = 0.28-0.38,
