The relationship between socioeconomic status and organized sports participation among Chinese children and adolescents: the chain-mediated role of parental physical exercise and parental support.

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
objectiveTo examine the relationship between socioeconomic status and organized sports participation among children and adolescents, and to reveal the mediating role of parental physical exercise and parental support between socioeconomic status and participation in organized sports.
methodsA cross-sectional survey of 1512 parents of children and adolescents in Shanghai was conducted via the socioeconomic status scale, physical activity rating scale, and parental support for children's sports training scale. Structural equation modeling was used to test the direct and mediating effects.
results(1) The direct effect of socioeconomic status on organized sports participation was significant (β = 0.184, P < 0.001) (2). The simple mediating effect of parental support was significant (β = 0.051; 95% CI [0.030, 0.079]), accounting for 16.56% of the total effect. The chained mediating effect of parental physical exercise and parental support was significant (β = 0.056, 95% CI [0.034, 0.084]), accounting for 18.18% of the total effect (3). The hypothesized paths did not differ significantly in multigroup structural equation modeling of different genders among children and adolescents.
conclusionSocioeconomic status not only directly influences organized sports participation among children and adolescents but also indirectly influences organized sports participation through parental physical exercise and parental support. This study posits that reducing socioeconomic status disparities in organized sports participation among children and adolescents requires not only a focus on children and adolescents of lower socioeconomic status but also increased parental physical exercise and parental support.
