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

backgroundThis longitudinal study explored the one-year change in device-measured daily physical activity in patients attending a memory clinic.

methodsPhysical activity was recorded in 27 memory clinic patients over four days using accelerometers (activPAL3 micro) at baseline and one-year follow-up. Daily physical activity outcomes included upright time, standing time, walking time, number of steps, number of transitions, mean upright event length, and maximum upright event length. Changes between baseline and follow-up were analysed using paired sample t-tests.

resultsPatients' mean (SD) age was 69.4 (8.1) years, and 14 (51.9%) were women. The only significant change was a decrease in maximum upright event length from a mean (SD) of 84.3 (31.6) minutes at baseline to 59.2 (22.5) minutes at one-year follow-up (p < 0.001).

conclusionDaily physical activity volume remained stable over one year, but the reduction in maximum upright event length indicates a shift in activity distribution.
