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
backgroundParents influence and support children's healthy movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary time, sleep). During the COVID-19 pandemic, families spent even more time together. Thus, parents likely had greater influence on their child's movement behaviours than usual. This study assessed the associations between parent and child movement behaviours and compliance with movement behaviour guidelines at two time points during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsNational samples of parents of children and adolescents (5-17 years) living in Canada completed online surveys about their own and their child's movement behaviours in October 2020 (n = 1,568, 58% women) and April 2021 (n = 1,600, 60% women). Associations between parent and child movement behaviours and compliance with 24-hour movement behaviour guidelines were examined.
resultsWe observed mostly positive, significant correlations between parent and child movement behaviours in October 2020 (r = 0.12-0.26, p < 0.05) and April 2021 (r = 0.12-0.20, p < 0.05). A parent meeting an individual movement behaviour guideline (e.g., physical activity) was associated with an overall higher incidence of their child meeting the same guideline in October 2020 (Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR):=1.10-3.06) and April 2021 (IRR: 1.19-2.26). The incidence of children meeting the 24-hour movement guidelines in October 2020 (IRR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.55, 6.04) and in April 2021 (IRR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.34, 3.83) was higher when parents met the 24-hour movement guidelines.
conclusionsParent and child movement behaviours were associated with one another during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for children (compared with adolescents). In times of severe public health restrictions, health promotion efforts should target family units to promote healthy movement of families collectively.
