Cycling workstations + information and counselling compared to information and counselling alone for reducing sitting at work: RCT

Cycling workstations + information and counselling compared with information and counselling for reducing sitting at work
Patient or population: employees who sit at work Settings: workplace Intervention: Cycling workstation + information and counselling Comparison: Information and counselling

Time spent sitting at work /8‐hour workday Accelerometer‐inclinometer Follow‐up: median 16 weeks	The mean time spent in sitting at work in the control group was 413 minutes3	The mean time spent in sitting at work in the intervention groups was 12 minutes less (24 less to 1 more)		54 (1 study)	⊕⊕⊝⊝ low1,2
*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). CI: Confidence interval
GRADE Working Group grades of evidence High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect. Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate. Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate. Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

¹ Imprecision with wide confidence intervals, small sample size, downgraded with one level

² Lack of blinding of participants and attrition bias, downgraded with one level

³ Sitting time in the control group
