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

Background: Accumulating studies have investigated the combined effects of 24-h movement behaviors on physical and mental health. The 24-hour Movement Behaviors Questionnaire (24HMBQ) was recently developed to measure the 24-hour movement behaviors in college students. However, its criterion validity remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the criterion validity of the 24HMBQ against accelerometer-derived data among Chinese college students. Methods: Eighty-eight college students (age = 20.2 ± 2.2 years) participated in this study. The Axivity AX3 accelerometers were used to objectively measure physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep levels over a consecutive seven-day period. At the last day, participants completed the 24HMBQ to self-report their PA, SB, and sleep levels. Paired-sample Results: Spearman's correlation coefficients indicated strong agreement for sleep metrics (Rho = 0.77, Conclusion: The 24HMBQ showed good criterion validity for sleep and moderate validity for sedentary behavior, but limited validity for physical activity (especially MVPA).
