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

Background: Declining physical fitness among college students has become a global public health concern. Existing physical literacy and health literacy instruments do not adequately capture the competencies required to access, interpret, and critically evaluate physical activity-related health information in contemporary digital environments. Objective: This study aimed to develop and psychometrically validate the Physical Activity and Health Literacy Scale (PA-HLS) for college students based on Nutbeam's hierarchical model of health literacy. Methods: An initial item pool was generated through a systematic literature review and refined via two rounds of Delphi expert consultation ( Results: All items demonstrated good discrimination (critical ratios = 6.74-31.90, Conclusion: The PA-HLS is a theoretically grounded and psychometrically robust instrument for assessing physical activity-related health literacy among college students and may inform targeted health promotion interventions in university settings.
