Associations between physical literacy and physical activity and sedentary behavior among Taiwanese older adults: a nationwide survey.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposePhysical literacy (PL) is increasingly viewed as a modifiable determinant of movement behaviors in later life. This study examined the associations of PL with meeting physical activity (PA) recommendations and with sedentary behavior (SB) among community-dwelling older adults in Taiwan.
methodsA nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted using computer-assisted telephone interviewing with stratified random sampling across four geographic regions (N = 1,078; ≥ 65 years). PL was assessed using the Senior Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument, and PA and SB were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. Binary logistic regression models were estimated with adjustment for demographic and health-related covariates.
resultsHigher PL was associated with greater odds of meeting recommended PA levels (adjusted OR = 1.08, 95% CI [1.05, 1.12]) and lower odds of prolonged SB (adjusted OR = 0.96, 95% CI [0.94, 0.99]).
conclusionPL was a robust factor of both higher PA and lower SB among older adults. PL-informed, community-based strategies that build motivation, confidence, and functional capability may support more active daily routines and help reduce disparities in movement opportunities across diverse living contexts.
