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

backgroundProlonged sitting is an independent risk for mortality among cancer survivors, but whether higher dietary quality (DQ) may attenuate the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations of prolonged sitting and DQ with mortality among cancer survivors.

methodsThis study analyzed 2734 adult cancer survivors from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018. Survey-weighted Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the independent and combined associations of sitting time and DQ with mortality among cancer survivors.

resultsProlonged sitting time was associated with higher all-cause and noncancer mortality risks, whereas qualified dietary quality (HEI-2015 ≥ 60) was associated with lower risks of all-cause, cancer, and noncancer mortality. In joint analyses, compared with individuals who had qualified DQ and sitting time less than 8 h/ d, those with unqualified DQ and sitting ≥ 8 h/d had significantly higher mortality risks. The corresponding hazard ratios (HRs) were 2.141 (95% CI: 1.536–2.985) for all-cause mortality, 2.534 (95% CI: 1.442–4.454) for cancer mortality, and 2.028 (95% CI: 1.368–3.008) for noncancer mortality. In contrast, among survivors with qualified DQ, prolonged daily sitting (≥ 8 h/d) was not significantly associated with increased mortality. The HRs were 1.507 (95% CI: 0.939–2.417) for all-cause mortality, 2.051 (95% CI: 0.893–4.709) for cancer mortality, and 1.293 (95% CI: 0.732–2.284) for noncancer mortality.

conclusionsQualified dietary quality (HEI ≥ 60) might attenuate the increased risk of mortality associated with prolonged sitting time among cancer survivors.
