Reaching hard to reach youth: Who are the inactive youth?
Article in Journal of health psychology, 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
Despite growing knowledge emphasizing benefits of physical activity, the inactivity rate in youth seems to remain. The present study suggests that one reason for this is lack of knowledge about the inactive and that exploration of differences in every daily life-challenges of inactive and active youth are needed. Applying multivariate analysis of variance and classification and regression tree analysis, differences between the two groups were seen. Results show associations between demographic variables and inactivity, yet when adding psycho-social variables, the accuracy improved significantly. The results suggest that inactive youth seem to live more challenging lives compared to their active peers. When we feed statistical analyses with only demographic data such as age, gender, social class and ethnicity, we may fail to examine the role of important psycho-social variables and thus miss beneficial knowledge about inactive youth and a pedagogical potential for developing appropriate interventions.
