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
Background: Given the prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity among Chinese adolescents, assessing the role of parents in this situation is important. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to evaluate the association between parental health literacy levels and adolescents' physical activity and obesity in China. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a sample of 4,717 Chinese high school students and their parents participated. Parental health literacy was measured using the Chinese version of the Health Literacy Survey 2019-12-item questionnaire (HLS19-Q12), and adolescents' physical activity was assessed using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using standardized measurements of weight and height (kg/m Results: A total of 31.95% of adolescents were overweight or obese, and 48.15% had low physical activity, which was significantly lower in girls than in boys ( Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of addressing the health literacy of parents, especially mothers, in promoting adolescent physical activity and preventing obesity. Health promotion programs and educational policies should consider family-based approaches to effectively address gender-specific needs and improve adolescent health outcomes.
