1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Physical fitness (PF) is an important marker of health and well-being. This study aimed to quantify associations of social environment and physical activity (PA) related factors with different aspects of PF among adolescents. The cross-sectional study included 4925 (51% girls) schoolchildren aged 11-18 years. Participants were tested for PF using the Eurofit battery (covering 8 aspects of PF), with their social environment (parents' education, family's and friends' support for PA), personal motivation for PA, actual PA level, and sports participation status were self-reported. Age- and sex- adjusted body mass index (BMI) cut-points were used to classify weight status as overweight or normal weight. Associations were quantified using hierarchical linear regression analysis. Up to 45% of the variability in PF was explained by BMI and environmental factors. While age, sex, BMI and parents' education associated with PF most strongly, personal motivation for PA (R
