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

introductionAdolescence is a critical period marked by physiological and psychological changes that influence long-term health. Establishing healthy behaviours, particularly regular physical activity, is essential during this stage; however, around 80% of young people do not meet the WHO's physical activity recommendations. Digital technologies offer promising opportunities to promote health among youth, yet most physical activity mobile applications (apps) lack scientific validation and usability. Unlike psychology, which has validated repositories to guide users in selecting mental health apps, physical activity lacks validated repository platforms, especially for adolescents. The project has a twofold aim: (1) to co-design a website, named the TeenFit website, that facilitates the selection of physical activity apps tailored to each adolescent's individual needs and preferences and (2) to investigate the barriers and facilitators for the implementation of the TeenFit website in real-world settings. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Adolescents and other stakeholders (ie, caregivers, educators, and health professionals) will be engaged in the development of the TeenFit website app finder through a participatory design approach that involves three workshops, encompassing both a development phase and an implementation phase. Approximately 10-12 participants per group will take part in smaller working groups to collaboratively contribute to the co-design of the TeenFit website. TeenFit will include physical activity apps available in the Spanish market, developed in both English and Spanish. These applications are currently being identified through two ongoing systematic reviews. In addition to qualitative data gathered during the audio- and video-recorded workshops, quantitative data will be collected on participants' co-design experiences and the acceptability of the TeenFit website. Data analysis will involve descriptive statistics, qualitative content analysis for describing participants' perspectives on what aspects (ie, content, features and layout) are important for the design of the website and reflexive thematic analysis to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee in the province of Málaga (Spain) (REC ref: SICEIA-2024-003172). Research findings will be disseminated primarily via national and international conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals. Patient and public involvement will inform further dissemination activities.
