Movimente program: effectiveness and moderators of a cluster-randomized controlled trial on self-reported physical activity among Brazilian adolescents.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02944318 (The Movement Program for an Active and Healthy Lifestyle in Adolescents and Its Relationship With School Performance), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundSchool-based intervention are needed due to the low levels of physical activity among adolescents.
objectiveTo evaluate a school-based intervention's effectiveness and potential sociodemographic moderators on physical activity (PA) among Brazilian adolescents.
designThe Movimente Program was a cluster randomized controlled trial conducted at six elementary schools in southern Brazil in 2017.
methodsParticipants (n = 921) were adolescents from 7th -9th grade (12 to 15 years). From March to December, intervention strategies included teacher training, educational actions, and environmental improvements designed to increase PA levels. PA was self-reported, and the primary outcome was weekly minutes in total PA; secondary outcomes were weekly minutes in leisure-time PA, adherence to guidelines, and diversity (e.g., number of activities). In addition, the moderation effect of sex, school grade, socioeconomic level, weight status, and baseline PA levels was explored. Mixed-model linear regressions were used to test changes between baseline and follow-up (difference-in-differences approach).
resultsParticipants were, on average, 13.1 ± 1.1 years old, and 52% were female. Pre-post changes in PA volume did not differ between intervention and control groups (β: 6.64; 95% CI: -104.60; 117.89), nor did adherence to guidelines. No significant interaction effects of sex, socioeconomic level, or weight status were found. Pre-post changes of leisure PA diversity favored the intervention group among 8th but not 7th and 9th grade students.
conclusionThe Movimente Program was not effective in improving PA among the whole sample. Further studies are warranted to explore effective ways to improve PA among adolescents from Brazil.
