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

The prevalence of total physical activity among children and adolescents in Germany is reported to be low (D-) according to the country-specific Report Card from 2022. One potential strategy to increase physical activity is the promotion of cycling to and from school. To foster a more self-determined form of motivation among students, we developed a promising intervention grounded in the self-determination theory, as demonstrated in previous research. Here, we aimed to validate the "German behavioral regulation in cycling to and from school scale" focusing on construct and criterion validity as well as reliability to create a robust measurement instrument. Conducted in Southern Germany in 2021, this study involved 112 girls, 124 boys, and three students identifying as diverse (13.5 ± 1.1 years) who attended a (sub)urban secondary school that provided an intermediate and/or high educational level. We were unable to validate the original first-order six-factor model. Instead, we successfully validated a newly developed first-order three-factor model, which demonstrated a good global model fit (GFI: 0.997, SRMR: 0.0313), measurement model invariance across gender (GFI: 0.986-0.994, SRMR: 0.0426-0.0596), and internal consistency (
