Beyond the game: evaluating a soccer-centered approach to physical activity and health education in children.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 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
Background/objectives: Due to only 25% of U.S. children meeting the physical activity guidelines, we aimed to determine feasibility of team sports to engage children in at least 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily and increase health knowledge. Methods: This 11-week quasi-experimental pre/post intervention study was conducted in two after-school programs around metro Atlanta, GA, USA (C1, Results: C1 were on average 9.2 years old, 31% female, and 100% White. C2 were on average 9.8 years, 48% female, and 67% Hispanic and 33% Black. Attendance was 69% (SD 0.26) in average over the 11 weeks for both cohorts, with no difference in attendance between groups. Agility improved significantly [2.7 s(1.5); 95% CI: -3.2,-2.2] overall but no between-group difference was found. C2 participants improved significantly compared to C1 participants ( Conclusion: The program is feasible for American children; however, careful consideration of setting and coaching staff is necessary.
