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
objectiveThis study examines associations between area deprivation and perceived neighbourhood safety with active transport to school among preadolescents living in urban Quebec.
methodsA sample of 809 preadolescents aged 9 to 13 years and one each of their parents living in urban Quebec were recruited by a polling firm for a telephone interview about the Opération WIXX multimedia communication campaign. Opération WIXX was launched in 2012 by Québec en forme to promote physical activity among preadolescents. Logistic regression models predicted active transportation to school (as reported by both the child and his or her parent) from area-level material and social deprivation and from parental and children's perceptions of neighbourhood safety while controlling for socio-demographic variables.
resultsChild and parental reports of active commuting to school were highly concordant (Kendall's tau=0.70, p<0.001). Children whose parents felt at ease to let their children actively commute to school (OR=1.75, 95% CI 1.25-2.45; p=0.001) and who lived in areas characterized by the highest material (OR=2.02, 95% CI 1.09-3.76; p=0.026) and social (OR=3.69, 95% CI 2.12-6.42; p<0.001) deprivation were more likely to report actively commuting to school. Parents who felt at ease to let their children actively commute to school (OR=1.60, 95% CI 1.15-2.21; p=0.005) and who lived in neighbourhoods characterized by a higher social deprivation (OR=1.70, 95% CI 1.04-2.79; p=0.036, OR=2.01, 95% CI 1.23-3.29; p=0.006, OR=2.72, 95% CI 1.59-4.63; p<0.001) were more likely to report that their child actively commuted to school.
conclusionActive commuting to school is associated with parental perceptions of safety and area deprivation.
