More than movement: a systematic review of moral and social development in adolescents physical education.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThis paper investigates the dimensions of moral and social development within physical education (PE) programs for adolescents, examining theoretical foundations, empirical evidence, and practical implementations. The review highlights the role of PE in fostering moral and social development and explores how cultural contexts may influence research and practice. By integrating these dimensions, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of how PE contributes to adolescent development while accounting for cultural variability.
methodsA systematic review was conducted using Web of Science, EBSCO, and Scopus databases. The final search was performed in July 2024. A total of 3,114 non-duplicate articles were identified. After screening titles, abstracts, and full texts, 44 studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies were assessed based on methodologies, program structures, findings, and alignment with cultural values.
resultsThe review indicates that PE programs integrating moral education contribute to the development of students' moral and social competencies. Programs appeared to be designed that align with prevailing cultural values and traditions, which may enhance their perceived relevance and acceptance. However, due to the methodological diversity of included studies, direct comparisons across studies were limited.
conclusionsThe findings suggest that PE-based programs promoting moral and social development are generally effective. Further research, including meta-analyses, is recommended to compare different program approaches systematically. Future studies should also aim to standardize evaluation methods to improve comparability and explicitly consider cultural context as an important factor influencing program design and outcomes.
