Examining cross-sectional associations between Australian parents' physical activity levels and their parenting confidence.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPrevious research suggests that parenting confidence is important for child outcomes but what could influence parenting confidence is less clear. This study aims to examine associations between parental physical activity and general and physical activity-specific parenting confidence.
methodsBaseline data from the Let's Grow randomised controlled trial of 1481 parents (1338 mothers and 143 fathers) were used. Parent physical activity was device-assessed and self-reported. An adapted version of the HAPPY scale and the Me as a Parent scale were used to assess physical activity-specific and general parenting confidence respectively. Associations were assessed separately for mothers and fathers via linear regressions adjusted for parents' age, education, and siblings.
resultsSelf-reported physical activity was positively associated with general and physical activity-specific parenting confidence for mothers (β = 0.19, CI
conclusionsSelf-reported physical activity was most robustly associated with physical activity-specific parenting confidence for mothers. A similar pattern was observed for fathers but the smaller sample size widened confidence intervals. Mothers' perceptions of their physical activity may be an important consideration for future research. Understanding these associations may help to support parents in achieving optimal health outcomes for both themselves and their children.
