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

backgroundUnderstanding the association between movement behaviors and psychosocial well-being at a young age seems essential for effective interventions and moving friendly environments, particularly in the context of childhood obesity.

objectivesto examine the association between adherence to movement behavior guidelines and psychosocial well-being, and whether obesity indices moderate this association.

methodsThe IDEFICS/IFamily cohort followed European children aged 2-16 years over 6 years, including 7359 repeated observations across three waves. Longitudinal associations between adherence to movement behavior recommendations and psychological well-being were assessed using generalized linear models. Obesity indicators, z-score body mass index (z-BMI) and z-score waist circumference (z-BMI) were used to test their moderating role.

resultsLower adherence to movement behaviors was negatively associated with psychosocial well-being (β = -0.39, 95%CI: -0.77, 0.00), with stronger effects in males (β = -0.70, 95%CI: -1.20, -0.20). Moreover, effects were larger in participants with overweight/obesity (β = -1.29, 95%CI: -2.21, -0.37). Obesity indices moderated the association between movement behaviors and psychosocial well-being (β = -0.40, 95%CI: -0.80, -0.06 for z-BMI; β = -0.36, 95%CI: -0.82, -0.03 for z-WC).

conclusionsAdherence to movement behavior guidelines was associated with psychosocial well-being, especially in males and individuals with overweight or obesity. These findings highlight the potential relevance of movement behavior patterns for psychosocial well-being and obesity prevention, while acknowledging the observational nature of the data.
