Associations of parental physical activity and physical fitness with motor competence, physical fitness, anthropometry, and 24-hour movement behaviors in preschool children: A cross-sectional study.

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
Whether parental physical activity (PA) and physical fitness (PF) are associated with preschoolers' motor competence (MC), fitness, and 24-h movement behaviors (MB) remains uncertain. We examined associations of parental moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and PF with children's anthropometry, MC, PF, and 24-h MB in mother-child and father-child pairs. In this cross-sectional study in public schools in Pamplona (Spain) and nearby municipalities, 161 children aged 4-6 years (80 girls), 90 mothers, and 81 fathers were assessed. Parental MVPA was measured using wrist-worn accelerometers; parental PF was assessed via upper- and lower-body strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Exposures were categorized into tertiles. Child outcomes included anthropometry (fat mass, BMI z-score, waist circumference [WC]), MC (MOBAK-KG object-control [OC] and self-movement [SM]), PF (PREFIT: handgrip strength, 4×10-m shuttle run, standing long jump, and cardiorespiratory fitness), and 24-h MB (accelerometer-derived total PA, light PA, MVPA, sedentary time, and sleep across six consecutive days). Neither parental MVPA nor PF was significantly associated with children's anthropometry, MC, or PF in either dyad (all
