Leisure-time physical activity, daily sitting time, and risk of mortality among CVD patients: a prospective cohort study.

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: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality globally. While leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and daily sitting time (DST) are known modulators of health, their combined impact on mortality risk specifically among CVD patients warrants further investigation. This study aimed to examine the independent and joint associations of LTPA and DST with mortality in a nationally representative sample of US adults with CVD. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 2,335 adults with CVD (weighted mean age 61.56 years; 57.12% male) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018, followed for a median of 5.75 years. LTPA was categorized as inactive (0 min/week), insufficiently active (1-<150 min/week), and sufficiently active (≥150 min/week). DST was categorized as 0-<6, 6-<8, and ≥8 h/days. Mortality data were obtained through linkage to the National Death Index until December 31, 2019. Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for covariates. Results: Over 14,139 person-years, 552 deaths (197 CVD-related) occurred. Sufficient LTPA (≥150 min/week) was associated with reduced risks of all-cause (HR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.31-0.66, Conclusion: This study suggests that increasing leisure-time physical activity and reducing sedentary time may have potential benefits for reducing mortality in patients with CVD.
