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

Objectives: To assess physical activity (PA) levels and associated factors in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) in Western China. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2021 to June 2023 at a tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province. A total of 408 adult patients with AP were enrolled. PA levels and sedentary time (ST) were assessed using the long-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical data were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with PA levels. Results: Low physical activity (LPA) was observed in 74.3% of participants. Daily ST ranged from 60 to 600 minutes, with a mean of 317.57 ± 122.42 minutes. Screen time accounted for 68.3% of sedentary behaviors. Higher PA levels were associated with shorter ST. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, biliary tract disease and three or more previous AP episodes were associated with LPA. Secondary education was associated with higher PA. Conclusion: Physical inactivity is common among AP patients. Sedentary time, NAFLD, biliary tract disease, education level, and AP recurrence are key determinants.
