Patterns of perceived neighborhood environment and physical activity in adolescents: a latent class analysis.
Observational study in Revista brasileira de epidemiologia = Brazilian journal of epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo identify patterns of characteristics of the perceived neighborhood environment and relate them to the types of physical activity practiced by adolescents.
methodsObservational epidemiological study with 1,066 adolescents (55.2% female, 10 to 13 years old) from João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Environmental characteristics were measured using a 16-item scale in three domains (places for practice, urban and traffic safety) and types of physical activity practice (recreation, sports, physical exercise and active commuting - minutes/week) by questionnaire. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was applied to identify patterns of environmental characteristics and linear regression to relate them to the types of practice.
resultsLCA identified four patterns of environmental characteristics: "not diverse and unsafe" (26.6%), "not diverse and safe" (13.6%), "diverse and unsafe" (30.8%), and "diverse and safe" (29.6%). Perceiving the environment as "diverse and safe" was positively and significantly associated with the time spent practicing recreational activities (β=42.16; 95%CI 4.35-79.97). The patterns of environmental characteristics were not associated with the time spent practicing sports, physical exercise, and active transportation.
conclusionadolescents who perceived the neighborhood environment as "diverse and safe" had a longer time practicing recreational activities.
