The effect of parental expectancy value beliefs on children's physical activity: the chain mediating role of parental exercise commitment and children's exercise self-efficacy.

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
Objective: Grounded in the expectancy-value theory, this study examined how parental expectancy-value beliefs influence children's physical activity, as well as the mediating roles of parental exercise inputs and children's exercise self-efficacy, with children serving as the research subjects. Methods: Data were collected from 1,284 children and their parents in South China using the Results: (1) Parental expectancy-value beliefs, parental exercise input, children's exercise self-efficacy, and children's physical activity exhibited significant positive correlations (P ≤ 0.05). (2) Parental expectancy-value beliefs had a positive direct effect on children's physical activity (β = 8.898, 95% CI [4.754, 13.041]). (3) Parental exercise input positively influenced children's exercise self-efficacy (β = 1.178, 95% CI [0.147, 2.323]), which subsequently positively affected children's physical activity (β = 3.028, 95% CI [1.630, 4.603]). Furthermore, the chain mediation of parental exercise input and children's exercise self-efficacy indirectly influenced children's physical activity (β = 0.974, 95% CI [0.564, 1.498]). Conclusion: Parental expectancy-value beliefs significantly enhanced both parental exercise input and children's exercise self-efficacy, which subsequently promoted children's physical activity behavior. Future interventions aimed at improving children's PA levels should prioritize strengthening parental expectation beliefs, enhancing parental input to exercise, and boosting children's exercise self-efficacy.
