Adherence to 24-h Movement Guidelines in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Adherence to the 24-h Movement Guidelines (physical activity [PA], screen time [ST], and sleep duration) has been associated with positive health outcomes. However, meta-analyses on overall adherence to these guidelines among children remain limited. This study aimed to report children's adherence to the 24-h Movement Guidelines. Six databases were searched in November 2023, with an update conducted in April 2025. The review followed the PRISMA framework and included studies reporting the prevalence of adherence to the 24-h Movement Guidelines among children aged 5 to 13. A random-effects model was used to pool prevalence rates across studies. Subgroup analyses were conducted using sex, geographical region, and measurement method. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I
conclusionThese findings highlight the need for sex- and region-specific strategies to promote adequate PA, reduce ST, and ensure sufficient sleep among children. Future research should consider measurement methods when designing interventions to improve adherence to the 24-h Movement Guidelines. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42024552497) What is known: • Many studies have examined adherence to the 24-h Movement Guidelines among school-aged children. However, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the existing evidence are still lacking. WHAT IS NEW: • Subgroup analyses by sex showed lower adherence in girls than in boys, while analyses by geographic region revealed particularly low adherence in South America and Asia. Moreover, studies using device measures yielded higher adherence estimates than those using self-reports.
