The impact of different family background on children's fundamental movement skills proficiency.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThis study was to explore the impact of different family background on children's physical activity. Whether the parents' age, educational level, exercise habits, number of siblings, affect differences in the development of children's fundamental motor skills [FMS].
methodsA sample of 6200 parents participated in this study, with the age of the children ranging between 2 and 6 years. The questionnaires were mostly filled out by mothers, the parents were between 30 and 45 years old, and most of them had a college degree or above. The research was based on the self-compiled questionnaire "2-6 years young children's fundamental motor skills questionnaire". The questionnaire consisted of 3 dimensions (stability motor skills, locomotor motor skills, manipulative motor skills.) Each participant completed the information, in addition subjectively completing the questionnaire according to the child's FMS performance. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and single-factor analysis of variation.
resultsThe results of this study revealed that different family background variables had significantly different effects on children's FMS development. Children who had an older parent, high school or college education, a household monthly income of more than 2,200 US dollars, lived in rural areas, had siblings at home, and who maintained moderate intensity for more than 30 min once a week had better FMS performance.
conclusionParents' exercise habits, as well as parents' age and education had a positive effect on children's FMS. In addition to requiring parents to accompany activities, arranging an environment suitable for exercise and having more interactive games with older peers could help FMS performance in children.
