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
The physical activity parenting questionnaire for children (PAP-C) is designed to assess physical activity parenting practices from children's perspectives. While initially developed in Finland, its validity and reliability have not been evaluated in different countries. This study aimed to examine the construct validity, factorial invariance, and 4-week reliability of the PAP-C in Chinese 7- to 11-year-old children. The PAP-C contains three theory-driven parenting dimensions: structure for activity, autonomy support, and involvement, with 22 items. The construct validity and internal consistency were tested by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and composite reliability in a sample of 2747 Chinese school-aged children (grades 1-6, mean age 9.1 ± 1.4 years, 48.9% girls). Factorial invariance across grades was explored via sequential multi-group CFA, and intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficients were calculated for a subsample of 865 children who completed a 4-week retest (mean age 8.7 ± 1.1 years, 47.5% girls). The PAP-C with 20 items showed high standardized factor loadings, with good to excellent internal consistency (α
conclusionThe PAP-C is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing children's perceptions of physical activity parenting in Chinese school-aged children. The integration of the PAP-C with parental counseling can facilitate a more holistic assessment of physical activity parenting, a key determinant shaping children's physical activity behavior. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Physical activity parenting is a key determinant of children's physical activity. • Few theory-driven child-reported physical activity parenting scales exist, with significant cultural limitations and lacking cross-national validation. WHAT IS NEW: • The physical activity parenting questionnaire for children (PAP-C) shows excellent construct validity and reliability in Chinese school-aged children. • Recognizing the child's perspective on physical activity parenting enables the design of child-centered physical activity interventions in pediatric clinical settings.
