Impact of self-efficacy and parenting practice on physical activity among school children.
Article in Nagoya journal of medical science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
As insufficient engagement in physical activity (PA) is becoming a major health concern in Thailand, we aimed to investigate the impact of parenting practices and children's self-efficacy on a child's PA level and further in the subgroups, stratified by the child's sex and weight status. A total of 609 primary school children recruited by cluster sampling in two schools were asked to complete questionnaires, and general familial factors and parenting practice related to activities were completed by parents. Multivariate linear regressions were conducted to calculate the standardized beta-coefficients (β). Children's PA level was positively related to greater support seeking self-efficacy (β=0.281) for engaging in PA, and parenting practices, including less limit setting (β=-0.124) and more discipline (β=0.147) in the total sample. In the analyses of subgroups by a child's sex and weight status, parenting practice, such as less limit setting and discipline played a more important role in children's PA in normal weight children and girls as taking account of around 10% of variance of the child's PA, while only seeking support self-efficacy showed great impact in overweight children and boys. In conclusion, impacts of children's self-efficacy and parenting practices on children's PA were different by child's sex and weight status. This can suggest that future interventions to increase children's PA might need to consider different strategies to increase children's self-efficacy as well as parenting strategies when targeting different groups of children.
