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
Introduction: This study examines how family educational priorities influence children's sports participation in China. Drawing on social learning theory and ecological systems theory, it conceptualizes parental emphasis on education as a proximal environmental factor shaping children's behavioral development through modeling, reinforcement, and value transmission. Methods: Using nationally representative data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) spanning 2014-2020, the analysis applies a Hierarchical Age-Period-Cohort (HAPC) model to estimate the effects of parental educational emphasis on the frequency and duration of children's physical activity. Results: The findings show that stronger parental emphasis on education is positively associated with both the frequency and duration of children's physical activity. A generational turning point is identified around the 1980 birth cohort, where the impact of parental educational focus shifts from negative to positive. Heterogeneity analysis further indicates that the positive association is more pronounced in urban, two-parent households and among boys. Discussion: These results highlight the evolving psychological and social mechanisms by which family education priorities shape children's motivation and participation in physical activity. The findings provide policy-relevant insights for designing equitable, psychologically grounded strategies to promote youth development and reduce disparities in sports participation.
