Race/Ethnicity and Change in Physical Activity From Infancy to Preschool Age.
Article in Pediatric exercise science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo examine the associations of race/ethnicity with the developmental pattern for physical activity (PA) as children transition from infancy to preschool age, and to examine the influence of race/ethnicity on the associations between parent-reported contextual factors and children's PA.
methodParticipants included 125 mother/child dyads (n = 38 Black, n = 25 Latino, n = 62 White) completing assessments at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age. Child PA was measured with ActiGraph GT3X accelerometers and mothers completed a survey. Adjusted growth curve models examined the associations of race/ethnicity with the developmental patterns for PA and explored whether the association between change in the contextual variables and PA varied by race/ethnicity.
resultsOverall, White (P < .001) and Latino (P < .05) children engaged in significantly more PA compared with Black children. Boys accumulated more PA per hour than their female counterparts (P < .001). Race/ethnicity significantly influenced the associations between the PA patterns and television viewing/screen media use, PA equipment in the home, and mothers' report of stressful life events (P < .05).
conclusionThis study presents an initial attempt to examine these relationships; more longitudinal research with larger samples are needed. Such knowledge is critical to inform PA interventions to promote PA in children of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds.
