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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the associations between adherence to the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a large Spanish prospective cohort.

methodsWe analyzed data from 14,288 participants of the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN) Project, followed for a mean of 12.8 years (mean baseline age = 38.3 years; 60.1% women). Data were collected at baseline and through biennial follow-up questionnaires (up to 10 waves, depending on year of entry). The participants self-reported 24-h movement behaviors at baseline and were categorized based on the number of guidelines met (0-3). Behaviors were assessed at baseline only; changes in adherence during follow-up were not accounted for. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cause-specific mortality, adjusting for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical covariates.

resultsMeeting a greater number of 24-Hour Movement Guidelines at baseline was associated with a progressively lower risk of all-cause mortality. Compared with those meeting none, the multivariable-adjusted HRs were 0.52 (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.33-0.82) for meeting 1 guideline, 0.47 (95%CI: 0.30-0.73) for meeting 2 guidelines, and 0.44 (95%CI: 0.28-0.71) for meeting all 3 guidelines. Only adherence to the physical activity guidelines was independently associated with a significantly lower mortality risk (HR = 0.70; 95%CI: 0.55-0.89). A reduced risk was also observed for cancer and other-cause mortality among those meeting 2 or more guidelines.

conclusionAdherence to the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines at baseline, particularly physical activity, was associated with a lower risk of mortality. Promoting an integrated approach to movement behaviors may be an effective strategy for improving population health and longevity.
