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

Objective: To examine whether 12-month changes in sedentary accumulation were associated with mental-health outcomes among university teachers while accounting for concurrent changes in total sitting time. Methods: Full-time teachers ( Results: In Model 2, greater reductions in MBL were associated with higher WHO-5 scores ( Conclusion: More favorable changes in sedentary accumulation were associated with better mental-health outcomes, but the estimated incremental effects were small. Because MBL is structurally linked to sitting volume and bout frequency, its associations are better interpreted as reflecting a more frequently interrupted pattern of sitting rather than an isolated effect of bout duration.
