The relationship of gross motor and physical activity environments in child care settings with early learning outcomes.
Article in Early child development and care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Gross motor and physical activity opportunities in early childhood are important for promoting health and development. We conducted two studies with the following aims: 1) to describe the quality of gross motor/physical activity early learning environments in Washington (WA) state, USA and 2) to study the relationship between the quality of gross motor/physical activity environments and various early learning outcomes. We used state-wide classroom quality measures related to gross motor activities from the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale- Revised (N=1335 centers). For Aim 2, individual early learning assessments were conducted on 495 children from 72 centers in the fall and spring. We found considerable room for improvement in the space, equipment, schedule and supervision related to gross motor activities in child care centers. The quality of the gross motor environments was found to be related to desirable early learning outcomes including preschoolers' executive functions and behavior.
