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

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly used in school physical education (PE) to provide real-time feedback and support instruction that promotes youth physical activity and health. However, many AI applications remain top-down and expert-driven, focusing on technical validation in controlled settings and paying little attention to everyday school contexts or the needs of lower-fitness students. This study aimed to develop and implement a MediaPipe-based AI teaching-learning program for health-oriented middle school PE. Methods: A participatory action research (PAR) design with rapid prototyping was conducted over three months in one public middle school. PE teachers and 9th-grade students participated as co-researchers and co-developers. A web-based program using MediaPipe Pose was iteratively designed to recognize selected fitness movements and provide immediate visual and auditory feedback, with QR-code access and automatic logging. Data from semi-structured group interviews, observations, teachers' reflective journals, and student-created artifacts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Across three PAR cycles, the prototype evolved from a simple elbow-angle counter into a system that incorporated body alignment, tracking for isometric exercises, multimodal feedback, and automatic data recording. Teachers used the program to design lesson-specific recognition rules, monitor students' exercise participation, and support individual growth. Students deepened their understanding of exercise principles and engaged in computational thinking while experimenting with movements and refining feedback conditions. Conclusions: A participatory, school-based approach enabled MediaPipe-based pose estimation to be reconfigured into a pedagogically meaningful, health-oriented program for middle school PE, suggesting that AI-supported PE can contribute to more inclusive, data-supported school health promotion.
