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 and Aim: Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), this study primarily aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ) among 13-15-year-old female students, and secondarily to describe their motivational profiles and the relationships between motives and physical activity level. Methods: Three hundred twenty-five female students (mean age = 14.07; SD = 0.87) from nine different schools-wealthy, moderate, and lower income- were randomly sampled from Budapest and its suburbs. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used with the maximum likelihood extraction method and varimax rotation. To establish construct validity, Confirmatory Factor Analysis was conducted. Internal consistency of the questionnaire and its subscales was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Results: A 27‑item, six-factor solution emerged, partially differing from the original eight-factor structure, and showed acceptable internal consistency ( Conclusion: In conclusion, the Hungarian version of the PMQ appears suitable for assessing participation motives among female students in school and sport-related settings and may support educators and practitioners in better understanding motivational patterns when planning and evaluating physical activity programmes.
