Evaluating the Influence of Weight Status and Gender on Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity and Sedentary Time in Physical Education Lessons: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesLow physical activity (PA) and excessive sedentary time negatively impact health, contributing to obesity. Physical education (PE) can help reduce the risk of obesity in schoolchildren. This cross-sectional study objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time during PE in Türkiye, examining the influence of weight status and gender.
methodAccelerometers measured MVPA in 274 children and adolescents (ages 10-14, 49.6% girls). Sedentary time and MVPA were classified based on accelerometer count per 15 s (sedentary: <25; MVPA: ≥574). A two-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) assessed body mass index (BMI) and gender effects on MVPA and sedentary time.
resultsStudents spent 44.5% of PE time sedentary and 43.2% in MVPA, below the recommended 50% of PE in MVPA. Only 45.6% met this target (44.2% males and 47.1% females). Overweight/obese students had higher sedentary time, while normal-weight students engaged in more MVPA (
conclusionsStudents did not meet the recommended 50% of PE in MVPA. Increasing MVPA and reducing sedentary time during PE is particularly important for overweight/obese students. Physical education intervention should target students in co-educational classes.
