Challenges and facilitators to parent-child shared physical interventions during preschool and school age education: a systematic review and meta synthesis.

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
Background: Despite strong evidence supporting physical activity's role in children's physical, cognitive, and emotional development, many preschool and school-aged children fail to meet recommended activity levels. Parent-child shared physical activity interventions offer a promising approach, yet their implementation is influenced by multiple contextual factors. This study aimed to explore the challenges and facilitators of parent-child shared physical activity interventions in preschool and school-aged education settings. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across six databases-PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Embase, and Google Scholar-using a combination of MeSH terms and keywords related to children, parents, shared physical activity, and implementation factors. Inclusion criteria focused on qualitative or mixed-method studies involving parents, educators, or stakeholders of children aged 3-11 years engaged in shared physical activity. Studies were screened and appraised using the CASP checklist. Qualitative data were analyzed using conventional content analysis, allowing for the identification of themes and subthemes. Results: Four high-quality studies met the inclusion criteria. Two overarching categories emerged: challenges and facilitators. Key challenges included environmental and Structural Barriers, parental attitudes and low engagement, child-related challenges to participation and sociocultural and cognitive Influences on participation. Facilitators encompassed motivational strategies to encourage participation, program design that supports family engagement, strengthened parent-child relationships and institutional and environmental enablers. Conclusion: Parent-child shared physical activity interventions are most effective when they are culturally appropriate, developmentally suitable, and adaptable to daily routines. Overcoming structural and behavioral barriers through coordinated support from families, educators, and communities is essential for their long-term success.
