Mobile apps designed for preschoolers produce comparable physical activity outcomes to traditional physical education activities.
Article in mHealth, 2025. 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
Background: Globally, preschoolers' physical activity (PA) levels are lower than recommended. Digital interventions involving child-centered approaches hold promise for increasing PA behaviors. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the acute effects of 3 custom mobile apps, Foods & Moves, on preschooler's PA outcomes in comparison with traditional physical education (PE) activities as part of the HEalthy EnviROnments (HEROs) Study. Methods: Thirty-one children (17 boys, X Results: Linear models revealed condition differences in VPA% [ Conclusions: The Foods & Moves apps prompted a considerable proportion of high-intensity PA, which is comparable to or higher than traditional PE activities, demonstrating the potential to use digital strategies to promote PA in preschoolers.
