Exploring a model of critical health literacy among Chinese physical education teachers: a grounded theory approach.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
backgroundUnder the "Healthy China 2030" strategy, health literacy is a pivotal indicator of national development and a benchmark for evaluating school health education. In the digital age, the vast amount of health information necessitates critical health literacy, which requires individuals to analyze, evaluate, and effectively apply this information. As primary facilitators of school health education, physical education teachers play a crucial role in shaping students' health behaviors and advancing curriculum reform. This study investigates the model of critical health literacy among physical education teachers, aiming to develop an assessment tool that supports their professional growth and contributes to a high-quality school health education system.
methodsQualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was employed to select 40 physical education teachers and researchers from diverse regions across the country. The data were analyzed using NVivo 14.0 software in conjunction with the grounded theory technique.
resultsThe Critical Health Literacy Model for Physical Education Teachers comprises three dimensions: mastering health information, implementing health decisions, and fostering health awareness. Mastering health information encompasses two dimensions: the acquisition of health information and the evaluation of health information. Implementing health decisions involves three aspects: recognizing health needs, developing health programs, and optimizing teaching strategies. Fostering health awareness includes modeling healthy behaviors, guiding health practices, and promoting health cooperation.
conclusionThis study's model provides a theoretical foundation for improving physical education teachers' decision-making skills in complex health contexts. By incorporating this model into teachers' continuing education, the optimization of the school health education system is facilitated, ultimately supporting the national strategy to enhance public health literacy.
