"Active behaviour of parents is more associated with out-of-school physical activity in their children".
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundActive parents may have more active children, as parents act as role models for their children's physical activity (PA). Parents can facilitate access to PA, provide information, validate physical-sport behaviours, and offer emotional support. Also, the influence of parents' PA on children's PA in and out of the school context has not been well-established.
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the associations between parental PA and the PA levels of their children in both school and out-of-school settings, considering parental sex.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 involving 1,030 parent-child dyads. Sociodemographic data and self-reported active behaviour measures were administered to both groups simultaneously. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to determine the associations.
resultsA positive trend between parental and children's PA was observed only out of school (Trend OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.25-1.95; p < 0.001). Maternal moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) of 151-300 min per week was associated with MVPA in children on school days with physical education classes (OR = 3.48; 95% CI, 1.04-12.1). A trend was found in the maternal group for MVPA in children out of school (Trend OR = 1.57 [95% CI = 1.24; 2.01]).
conclusionPositive associations between MVPA in children and more than 150 min of MVPA per week from parents were found. Also, a trend between maternal PA and their children's out-of-school MVPA was identified, supporting future initiatives focused on family-based PA interventions.
