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
Introduction: The physical and mental health of adolescents is a crucial cornerstone for social development. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether family socioeconomic status made a difference in Chinese teenage mental and physical health and to disentangle the mediating role of parental involvement in youth sports in the process in which family socioeconomic status influenced adolescent health. Methods: A quantitative analysis used a sample of approximately 11,000 adolescents from Chinese middle schools. The research employed structural equation modelling (SEM) to explore the relationships among family socioeconomic status, parental involvement in youth sports, and adolescent mental and physical health. Results: The findings indicated that both family socioeconomic status and parental involvement in youth sports significantly positively predict levels of adolescents' physical health and mental health. Further analysis revealed that parental involvement in youth sports mediated the relationship between family socioeconomic status and adolescent health. Discussion: It is evident that parental involvement in youth sports plays a crucial role in adolescent mental and physical health. Regardless of family socioeconomic status, parents should actively engage in sports activities with their children, which is not only an important way to promote adolescents' health but also a manifestation of realizing health equity.
