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: Physical activity (PA) in adolescents plays a critical role in their healthy development. Although parental PA is associated with adolescents' PA, the role of family PA support in this relationship remains unclear. This study aims to examine how family PA support mediates the association between parental PA and adolescent PA. Methods: A 2023 survey conducted across 15 provinces in China ultimately included 11,940 participants. Multiple linear regression examined the links between parental PA, family PA support, and adolescents' PA, adjusting for potential confounders. A mediation model tested whether family PA support mediated the relationship between parental PA and adolescents' PA. Subgroup analyses explored heterogeneity across groups. Results: After adjusting for confounding variables, parental PA was positively associated with adolescents' PA (β = 0.0969, 95% CI: 0.0796 to 0.1140; Conclusion: The study found that parental PA was positively associated with adolescents' PA, while family PA support was positively associated with adolescents' PA, and family PA support mediated the relationship between parental PA and adolescents' PA.
