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
Background: Schools have been described as "ideal settings" for promoting PA, but they have struggled to find effective and sustainable ways of doing so given the demands of the curriculum. In Norway, the FYSAK school model is an example of a population approach to PA promotion wherein daily PA is embedded into the routines of the school. Little is known about the extent to which the model supports pupils' daily PA, especially with regard to meeting the national recommendations. The paper addresses the following research question: what impact does the FYSAK model have on pupils' PA patterns over time? Methods: The paper draws on device-measured PA data from a three-year (2016-2018) longitudinal study of lower secondary school pupils from 11 schools in Norway, of which one was a FYSAK school. Data from 535 adolescents (56.1% female, mean age at baseline ± SD 13.3 ± 0.3 years) was derived and used to compare the PA level (cpm Results: There was no difference in PA level between category of school in 2016. In 2017 and 2018 however, pupils attending the FYSAK school had significantly higher levels of PA compared to control schools (2017: 54.7 cpm Conclusions: Overall, the results are indicative of a FYSAK school effect, which can be explained in terms of the sustained embedding of PA into pupils' daily routines over a three-year period. We conclude that the FYSAK model offers a framework for systematically providing realistic opportunities for being physically active during the school day.
