Physical activity patterns and cardiovascular disease risk in adults with overweight or obesity: a prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health burden, particularly among overweight and obese individuals. We aimed to investigate associations between different physical activity patterns (concentrated activity vs. regularly active) and incident CVD, and to compare their effects in this specific population.
methodsData were from the UK Biobank, with 49,368 overweight and obese individuals (63.50 ± 7.73 years; 51.4% women) included in this study from 2006-2010. Participants were categorized into three physical activity patterns: inactive (< 150 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)), regularly active (≥ 150 min/week of MVPA, with ≥ 50% of activity distributed over > 2 days/week), and concentrated activity (≥ 150 min/week of MVPA, with ≥ 50% concentrated on 1-2 days/week).
resultsIn fully adjusted models, both the concentrated activity and regularly active patterns had a similar magnitude of CVD risk reduction compared with inactive individuals, overall CVD (concentrated activity: HR [95% CI]: 0.79 [0.74-0.85]; regularly active: 0.76 [0.70-0.83]), myocardial infarction (concentrated activity: 0.77 [0.67-0.88]; regularly active: 0.64 [0.53-0.76]), atrial fibrillation (concentrated activity: 0.81 [0.73-0.89]; regularly active: 0.84 [0.75-0.94]), heart failure (concentrated activity: 0.60 [0.52-0.70]; regularly active: 0.61 [0.50-0.73]), and stroke (concentrated activity: 0.79 [0.66-0.94]; regularly active: 0.81 [0.65-1.00]).
conclusionsConcentrated MVPA over 1-2 days (the concentrated activity pattern) was associated with reduced CVD risk in individuals with overweight or obesity, with a magnitude of risk reduction similar to that observed for regularly distributed activity.
