1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The concept of physical literacy (PL) is a theoretical basis for public health. China has proposed PL indicators in its 2030 Sports Power Strategy through systematic administrative measures. Sports club coaches are an important force in promoting public health, and their PL is worthy of attention. The objective is to assess the factor structure of the Perceived PL Instrument (PPLI) in Simplified Chinese for sports club coaches. Methods: The 18-item PPLI was selected because of its efficiency and effectiveness for physical education teachers. The research team translated the questionnaire (English-Simplified Chinese). The questionnaire was distributed to coaches of school sports clubs and social sports clubs. The factor structure was established by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: The factor structure was a 4-factor, 9-item scale with satisfactory validity. Through exploratory factor analysis, item loadings ranged from 0.70 to 0.75 (Cronbach's α, 0.83-0.87). Through CFA, factor loadings ranged from 0.78 to 0.86. Conclusion: The PPLI can be used as a reliable and valid instrument to test the PL of sports club coaches.
