From sedentary volume to sedentary content in older inpatients with type 2 diabetes: a multicenter study.

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
Background: Sedentary behavior is common in older inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may coexist with poor metabolic control and functional decline. Objective: To identify factors associated with high sedentary time status and examine screen-based sedentary content in this population. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study recruited 419 older inpatients with T2DM from three tertiary hospitals in northwestern, central and southern China. Sedentary time and 10 types of sedentary content were assessed using a validated questionnaire. Personal, social, environmental and exercise-related psychological factors were obtained from medical records, field-based assessments and standardized instruments. A two-stage sequential modeling approach was used. Model I ( Results: Of 419 participants, 279 (66.6%) were classified as having high sedentary time. Within this subgroup, 165 (59.1%) had a high proportion of screen-based sedentary time. High sedentary time status was associated with physical function, living context and exercise-related cognition. High screen tendency was characterized by age, postprandial glucose level, and living arrangement, gait speed showed only a category-specific contrast. Item-level analysis showed that participants with high screen tendency spent more time watching television, using computers and mobile phones, and less time chatting, eating, engaging in hobbies, napping and seated work. The Nagelkerke Conclusion: Sedentary behavior among older inpatients with T2DM was characterized not only by accumulated sedentary time but also by differences in sedentary content. These findings suggest that future sedentary behavior management could consider not only reducing total sedentary time but also identifying what patients do while sitting. Functional assessment, environmental support and strategies related to exercise outcome expectations and self-efficacy may represent potential intervention components that better reflect daily life, although their effects require confirmation in longitudinal and interventional studies.
