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

backgroundThe Connect through Positive Leisure Activities for Youth (Connect through PLAY) trial is a prospective, randomized controlled trial implemented within pre-existing afterschool programs (ASPs) comparing a staff-based social development physical activity (PA) program to a health curriculum active control. The efficacy trial aims to improve staff capacity for implementing effective physical activity (PA) programming within ASPs serving underserved youth (minority, low-income) through enhancing the influence of ASP staff as key change agents and addressing the social development needs of adolescents. DESIGN AND

settingThe 5-year cluster randomized trial will involve 30 ASPs that are randomized to either the Connect through PLAY intervention or the active health curriculum control.

interventionThe Connect through PLAY intervention employs a novel theoretical framework that targets three key social mechanisms for increased and sustained PA of staff and youth including youth-peer connections/friendships, group belonging, and staff-youth connections. All components of the intervention are designed to improve staff capacity for facilitating a PA context that supports these social mechanisms and increases the influence of ASP staff as positive PA role models and agents of change. Compared to control sites, ASPs receiving Connect through PLAY are expected to show greater improvements from baseline to post- and 6-month follow-up on youth PA, staff PA, and social mechanisms. IMPLICATIONS: The results of the Connect through PLAY trial will demonstrate the efficacy of the intervention and will assist in developing a model of training, motivating, and empowering ASP staff to address social mechanisms that promote youth PA.
