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: Physical activity is a promising complementary, non-invasive strategy for managing Crohn's disease, but habitual physical activity remains poorly understood and even less is known about sedentary behavior in this population. Aims: To compare physical activity and sedentary behavior volume and patterns among adults with Crohn's disease versus demographically matched controls. Methods: Participants ( Results: Primary multivariate analyses revealed no significant group effect for overall activity volume (Wilks' Λ = .72, Conclusions: Adults with Crohn's disease were not uniformly less active than controls, but secondary and sensitivity analyses suggested possible differences in sedentary behavior profiles. These findings support personalized physical activity recommendations for Crohn's disease and might support interventions emphasizing frequent movement and sitting-time interruption rather than solely increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
