Association of healthy lifestyle and physical fitness in children: a nationwide population-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Objective: Although a healthy lifestyle is closely linked to various health outcomes in children and adolescents, its specific connection to physical fitness remains poorly understood. Methods: This nationwide cross-sectional study evaluated data from 60,177 children across 27 provinces in China from 2015 to 2016. Health Lifestyle Score (HLS) assessed four key lifestyle factors: healthy eating, sufficient sleep, regular physical activity, and limited screen time. Multiple linear regression models and restricted cubic spline assessed the association between HLS and general physical fitness, with individual lifestyle factors also examined independently. Results: Higher HLS was significantly associated with better general physical fitness. Positive correlations were observed for each lifestyle factor with physical fitness: healthy eating ( Conclusion: Future strategies should integrate screen time reduction, dietary improvements, increased physical activity, and adequate sleep to maximize health benefits in this population.
