Non-Vigorous Physical Activity Associated with Reduced Hospitalization Risk with or without Diabetes or Peripheral Artery Disease: Study of Latinos.
Article in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 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
purposeThis study assessed whether greater physical activity (PA) and lesser sedentary behavior (SB) reduce hospitalization risk equally among those with and without prediabetes, diabetes, or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
methodsWe studied PA, SB and hospitalizations in 12,734 adults from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, who were 52.2% female with mean (standard deviation) age 41.1 (14.9) yr at baseline. Participants reported 10,025 nonpregnancy-related hospitalizations (excluding emergency room only) over 13 yr. We modeled the association between accelerometer-measured activity (SB; light intensity physical activity [LPA]; moderate physical activity [MPA]; vigorous physical activity [VPA]) and hospitalization, using Andersen-Gill proportional intensity models, adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors. We tested whether the association differed by baseline diabetes and PAD status: normoglycemia (without diabetes or prediabetes) and no PAD, n = 4589; normoglycemia and PAD, n = 505; prediabetes and no PAD, n = 3987; prediabetes and PAD, n = 947; diabetes and no PAD, n = 1829; diabetes and PAD, n = 877.
resultsGreater SB and lesser LPA were significantly associated with hospitalization risk in the overall population, with intensity ratios (generalization of hazard ratio) of 1.03 (95% confidence interval 1.00, 1.05)·per h/d SB, and 0.97 (0.95, 1.00)·per h/d LPA. MPA was inversely associated with hospitalization only when comparing the second tertile to the first; intensity ratio (95% confidence interval) 0.88 (0.79, 0.98). Categorical VPA results suggest benefit in those with normoglycemia (regardless of PAD) or prediabetes with no PAD. Among those with diabetes, we observed a direct association between VPA and hospitalization in those without PAD and no association in those with PAD.
conclusionsLower risk of hospitalization was associated with lesser SB and greater LPA, while MPA was associated with fewer hospitalizations only when performed for a duration of >8-≤22 min·d -1 .
