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
From a parental perspective, this study explores the main barriers and facilitation strategies associated with long-term participation in physical exercise among Chinese adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A qualitative research design was adopted, involving semi-structured interviews with parents of 19 adolescents with ASD who had participated in physical exercise for more than 3 years. Interview data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings indicate that adolescents with ASD encounter five major categories of barriers during sustained physical exercise participation: physical, cognitive, social communication, rule-related, and psychological adaptation barriers. In response to these challenges, five facilitation strategies were identified, including: improving rule design, adjusting instructional content and task difficulty, strengthening post-session tasks, refining training methods, and optimizing instructional delivery. Together, these findings provide practical insights for enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of long-term physical exercise participation among adolescents with ASD.
