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

objectiveInvestigation of fundamental movement skills (FMS) and physical fitness differences among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White elementary school children. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study included 194 children aged between 4 and 11 in kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th grades. For evaluable participants,

resultsThere were significant group differences across the participants in terms of age, height, body mass index (BMI), BMI percentile, arm circumference, and waist circumference. In addition, there were significant differences between Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White groups in terms of catching, running, dodging, punting, and two-hand striking (

conclusionsOur study shows Hispanic children have lower fundamental movement skills and physical fitness compared to their Non-Hispanic White peers. As poor fundament movement skills and physical fitness at such a young age may lead to adverse implications for their physical fitness and health in adulthood. Future studies should focus on increasing fitness, and FMS in Hispanic elementary school children.
