Effects of a brief Snacktivity-based educational intervention on physical activity and exercise behavior among university students.
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
Background: Snacktivity approach helps reduce sedentary behavior, increase awareness of opportunities for movement, and provide a practical alternative for individuals experiencing time-related barriers to exercise participation through short, integrated physical activity sessions in daily life. However, the effects of short-term Snacktivity-based interventions on university students remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of a brief Snacktivity-based training intervention on physical activity levels, exercise self-efficacy, processes of exercise behavior change, and stages of change in university students. Methods: This controlled study included 196 undergraduate students in the final analysis (Snacktivity group, Results: Moderate-intensity physical activity significantly increased, while sitting time significantly decreased in the Snacktivity group following the intervention ( Conclusion: A brief Snacktivity-based educational intervention may positively influence moderate-intensity physical activity participation, sitting time, and certain behavioral processes associated with exercise behavior change among university students. These findings suggest that even a single-session Snacktivity education may support movement-oriented behavior in university students.
