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

Adequate facilities and effective delivery of physical activity programs are essential for promoting active lifestyles among university students, especially in semi-rural contexts where structural barriers can hinder participation. This study investigated student perceptions and recommendations for enhancing the delivery of physical activity programs at the University of Zululand, a semi-rural South African institution. Using a mixed-methods design, quantitative data were collected from 328 full-time students via semi-structured questionnaires, while qualitative insights were drawn from 23 semi-structured interviews with purposively selected participants. Quantitative findings indicated moderate satisfaction with the marking and maintenance of sports facilities (
