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
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of school-based interventions on all 24-hour movement behaviours. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources: Studies published in English, French, and Spanish from four databases from inception to February 2024 were identified. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: Eligible articles were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that targeted and assessed physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep duration among school-aged youth (3-17 years). Risk of bias and quality assessment were assessed using the Risk of Bias Tool 2 and Quality Assessment of Controlled Intervention Studies tool, respectively. Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool evaluated the certainty of evidence. The study was registered in International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (ID: removed for peer review). Results: Of the 5141 records initially identified, 41 studies remained for full-text review. After full reading, 7 RCTs, comprising 8234 participants (49% girls), were included. Results indicated no effect in PA-related outcomes (Hedge's Conclusions: More school-based interventions promoting all movement behaviours are needed to determine if schools are optimal for encouraging 24-hour movement behaviours among young people.
