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

Introduction: The concept of physical literacy (PL) originated from the philosophy of lifelong sports, and its development is crucial for achieving lifelong sports goals. The Portuguese Physical Literacy Assessment Questionnaire (PPLA-Q) is a tool designed to assess the physical literacy of high school students, demonstrating good reliability and validity. The aim of this study is to translate and adapt the PPLA-Q into Chinese (PPLA-Q-C) and validate its applicability among adolescents in Gansu, China through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Methods: A total of 780 middle school students from Gansu Province, China, aged 15-18, participated. After screening, the final sample size was 729. The English PPLA-Q was translated into Chinese and validated through expert review and pre-testing. Data were collected in September 2022 Results: All observed items exhibited high factor loadings, confirming that the assumed model, consisting of 40 items grouped into four latent variables, was consistent with the original model. The CFA model demonstrated a good fit with the data, as indicated by fit indices: RMSEA = .024 (90% CI [.020-.027]), CFI = .978, TLI = .977, SRMR = .032. Conclusion: The final measurement model comprised 40 items, all retained and considered acceptable for the sample. The study results suggest that the Chinese version of PPLA-Q (PPLA-Q-C) is effective and reliable for assessing the PL of high school students in Gansu Province, China. Education practitioners and policymakers can utilize the PPLA-Q-C framework in their future work to assess the PL of Chinese-speaking students.
