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

An increasing number of children are now obese and fail to meet minimum recommendations for physical activity (PA). Schools play a critical role in impacting children's activity behaviors, including PA. Our objective was to assess whether CDC-based school-centered strategies to promote PA increase long-term cardiovascular fitness (CVF) levels in students in schools. A prospective observational trial was conducted in 26 middle schools to implement CDC school-based strategies to increase PA for 3 years. Students had CVF assessed by Fitnessgram (PACER), a 20-meter shuttle run, at the start and end of each school year. A post-study questionnaire was administered to assess each school's strategy adherence. At baseline, 2402 students with a mean age 12.2 ± 1.1 years showed a mean CVF measured by PACER of 33.2 ± 19.0 laps (estimated VO
