Research on the development and differentiation of the physical literacy scale for Chinese college students.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo understand the current status and characteristics of physical literacy among Chinese college students, develop a measurement scale suitable for this population, and provide an appropriate assessment tool for related research.
methodsThe Delphi method and a questionnaire survey were initially employed to screen and evaluate the reliability and validity of 53 preliminary items. Subsequently, the finalized measurement tool, which had been assessed for reliability, was administered to 3,077 Chinese college students via a questionnaire survey to identify population variation characteristics.
resultsFollowing a systematic screening process, the reliability coefficients for the four dimensions ranged from 0.731 to 0.821, and a reliable measurement tool for assessing physical literacy among Chinese college students was established. The final scale comprises four dimensions-physical activity capacity, physical activity behavior, physical activity cognition, and emotional experience-with a total of 32 items. The survey revealed significant differences in physical literacy among Chinese college students across the following dimensions: gender (t = 24.914, P < 0.001), household registration (t = 11.464, P < 0.001), grade (F = 30.811, P < 0.001), university category (F = 17.305, P < 0.001), and university district (F = 4.957, P < 0.01). Furthermore, significant differences were observed to varying degrees across all four dimensions-physical activity capacity, physical activity behavior, physical activity cognition, and emotional experience.
conclusionThe developed Physical Literacy Scale for Chinese College Students is suitable for research targeting this population. The survey revealed significant differences in physical literacy levels among Chinese college students based on gender, grade, household registration, university category, and university district.
