Time spent sitting at work Accelerometer‐inclinometer Follow‐up: short term | The mean time spent sitting at work in the control group was 289 minutes/day4 | The mean time spent sitting at work in the intervention group was 17 minutes less (48 less to 14 more) | 59 (2 studies) | ⊕⊕⊕⊝ low1,2 | ||
Time spent sitting at work Self‐reported Follow‐up: median 13 weeks | The mean time spent sitting at work in the control group was 362 minutes/day4 | The mean time spent sitting at work in the intervention group was 55 minutes less (96 to 14 less) | 34 (1 study) | ⊕⊕⊝⊝ low2,3 | ||
*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).

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 Risk of bias high due to selective reporting and attrition bias, downgraded with one level 2 Small sample size, downgraded with one level 3 Risk of bias high due to unblinded outcome assessment, downgraded with one level
4 Sitting time in the control group
