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

Accurate assessment of children's fundamental motor skills (FMS) is crucial for promoting lifelong healthy development and formulating effective physical education policies. However, China currently lacks standardized assessment tools that cover the entire age range from 3 to 12 years and have undergone thorough cultural adaptation. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and cultural adaptability of the MOBAK assessment tool in measuring FMS in Chinese children aged 3 to 12 years. A total of 1200 Chinese children from four regions of China participated in the study, including 623 boys (52%) and 577 girls (48%). The MOBAK tool was used to assess FMS across different age groups, focusing on two dimensions: object movement (e.g., throwing, catching, bouncing, and dribbling) and self-movement (e.g., balancing, rolling, jumping, and running). The study evaluated psychometric properties, including reliability and validity. Results indicate that MOBAK demonstrates excellent psychometric characteristics: (1) Good item discrimination (all CR values
