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
backgroundEncouraging physical activity and developing fundamental movement skills (FMS) is crucial for the healthy growth of children. Parental involvement can play a decisive role in shaping children's physical activity habits; however, few studies have examined its direct impact on FMS. The aim of our study was to explore the extent to which parenting style, sporting habits, and the socio-cultural background of the family influence children's movement skills.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 133 students (aged 10-13) from eight primary schools in Nyíregyháza, Hungary. The children's fundamental movement skills were assessed using the KTK3 test, organized into three subtests: Walking Backwards (WB), Jumping Sideways (JS), and Moving Sideways (MS). Parental involvement and family background were assessed through a questionnaire. The study included several analyses of the data: the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests, as well as multivariate regression analysis.
resultsThe findings revealed that parental involvement was positively correlated with children's WB performance (p < 0.05), while inconsistent discipline indicated a negative relationship with WB results (p < 0.05). The frequency of children's physical activity was positively associated with FMS performance: individuals who engaged in sports several times a week achieved higher scores in balance and coordination tasks (p < 0.05). Furthermore, among parental sporting habits, fathers' participation in recreational-level sports showed a positive association with children's WB performance (p = 0.029). Modes of transportation were also found to shape results: regular car use and less frequent public transportation use were associated with better WB and MS outcomes (p < 0.05).
conclusionsAlthough the direct implication of parental support and parenting style was not evident in all cases, the findings suggest that parental involvement can enhance children's movement skills, whereas inconsistent disciplinary practices may hinder their development. Strategies to support children's motor skill progression should focus on the entire family's lifestyle, with particular attention to sporting and transportation habits.
