Physical fitness as a predictor of health-related quality of life in children.

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
The aim of this study was to examine the association between the components of physical fitness and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in young school-age children and to determine the contribution of physical fitness in predicting children's subjective well-being and quality of life. The study initially included 306 primary school students (163 girls and 143 boys), with an average age of 9.89 ± 0.60 years. Body height was measured with a portable altimeter, and body mass, body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage were measured with dual-frequency body composition analyzer. Physical fitness was measured with the hand taping, long jump, trunk lift, 10 × 5 m run and Shuttle run tests, while quality of life was assessed with the KIDSCREEN-10 questionnaire. To identify predictors of quality of life, hierarchical regression analysis was performed; In the first step, control variables (gender, age, and BMI) were included in the model, while in the second step, physical fitness variables were added. Significant gender differences in speed and explosive power were found in favor of boys. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that demographic and morphological variables (age, gender, BMI) were not significant predictors of quality of life. However, by adding physical fitness components, the model becomes statistically significant (
