Associations of total physical activity with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in Chinese adults: a prospective study.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEvidence regarding the associations of total physical activity with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in Chinese adults is limited. The study aimed to evaluate the relationships between them.
methodsBaseline data on physical activity and demographic characteristics of 24,288 Chinese adults were collected from the Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance 2010-2015 in Jiangsu Province. The mortality data were obtained using a combination of the Jiangsu Province Cause of Death Registry and active follow-up in 2021. The two databases were matched to form a cohort. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the associations of total physical activity with all-cause and CVD mortality. Restricted cubic splines were used to investigate the dose‒response relationship between total physical activity and all-cause and CVD mortality.
resultsAmong the 22,680 registered individuals (aged 52.7 ± 14.8 years; female 55.9%), 1,596 adults died in total, and 630 died from CVD during a median follow-up of 8.2 years. Multivariable Cox models showed that compared to individuals in the lowest quartile of total physical activity, HRs (95% CI) for those in the highest quartile were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71-0.94) for all-cause mortality, 0.77 (95% CI: 0.61-0.98) for CVD mortality, and 0.49 (95% CI: 0.28-0.86) for ischemic stroke mortality. The restricted cubic spline revealed a nonlinear association between total physical activity and all-cause mortality. Subgroup analysis showed that physical activity was significantly associated with lower mortality among women, never‑smokers, and never‑drinkers (HRs [95% CI]:0.87[0.77-0.98], 0.88[0.80-0.97], 0.87[0.80-0.95], respectively), but this association was not significant in men, smokers, or drinkers.
conclusionsOur prospective analysis indicated that total physical activity was inversely associated with the risk of all-cause, CVD, and ischemic stroke death. The current data suggest a potential beneficial effect of physical activity for reducing premature death risk.
