Prevalence of meeting youth physical activity guidelines across income, sex, urbanicity, and sport participation: 2022-2023 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH).

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
purposeThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2022-2023 National Survey of Children's Health to examine the prevalence of American youth meeting physical activity (PA) guidelines by sociodemographic subgroups defined by income, sex, urbanicity, and sports participation.
methodsWeighted prevalence statistics were computed for meeting PA guidelines (≥60 min/day) for groups defined by income (0%-199% or ≥200% of Federal Poverty Level), sex (male, female), urbanicity (urban, rural), and past year sports participation (yes, no). Equity plots were generated to visualize the prevalence of meeting guidelines across subgroups (ref: high socioeconomic status (SES), urban male sports participants).
findingsThe final analytic sample included 61,740 youth (M
conclusionsMost American youth fail to meet guidelines, with lowest prevalences among female non-sport participants, regardless of SES and urbanicity status. Sports may be more important for PA among urban versus rural youth. The findings, which show a complex interplay between sociodemographic factors, PA, and sport, can be used to identify populations needing targeted PA promotion programs.
