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.

Abstract

backgroundInterventions have focused on evaluating effective strategies for increasing physical activity (PA) and reducing sedentary behavior (SB) in children and adolescents, which is still a challenge mainly in low- and middle-income countries. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of the Movimente Study on device-measured PA and SB in two-time segments of the school day amongst Brazilian adolescents.

methodsSix elementary schools were randomized into the intervention (IG) or control group (CG). Participants were in 7th -9th grades. A school year (2017) multicomponent intervention was delivered consisting of three components: (1) teacher training, (2) education curriculum, and (3) school environment. PA and SB were assessed using GT3x + ActiGraph hip-worn accelerometers. The trial's primary outcome was overall device-measured PA and SB. Exploratory secondary analyses examined PA and SB within in-School (08:00-11:59) and out-of-school (12:00-22:00) time segments. A two-level linear mixed model assessed the effect of the intervention on light-intensity PA (LPA), moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA), SB, and MVPA/SB ratio within and between groups.

resultsThere was a significant effect on the IG compared to the CG for MVPA (Coefficient [Coef.] = 16.2; 95% Confidence Interval [95%CI] = 6.9;25.5; p-value = 0.001), SB (Coef. = -22.7; 95%CI = -44.7;-0.7; p-value = 0.043), and MVPA/SB ratio (Coef. = 3.2; 95%CI = 1.2;5.3; p-value = 0.002) performed in the out-of-school segment, but not in the In-school segment. However, there were no significant differences within- nor between-group differences in LPA in both day segments.

conclusionThe Movimente Study was associated with greater increases in MVPA, improvements in the MVPA/SB ratio, and reductions in SB during the out-of-school period compared with control peers.
