1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a proposed intervention designed to support the daily movement practices and fostering joy of movement in Danish kindergartens, as well as the implementation strategies intended to facilitate adoption. Additionally, the feasibility of the planned measurement and procedures for a future effectiveness study will be examined.

methodsThe study uses a mixed-methods design to examine the feasibility of the intervention and the evaluation design. The planned duration of the intervention period is 10 weeks. The intervention consists of multiple integrated components co-designed with pedagogical staff, leaders, experts in kindergarten movement culture, and a team of researchers, to collectively support the daily movement practice in kindergartens. Alongside the intervention components, tailored strategies are developed to facilitate adoption and implementation. The intervention elements are categorized into four main types: 1) Formal establishment of the project; 2) Components of physical activity integrated in existing structures in the kindergarten; 3) Organizational and staff training; 4) Inspirational materials, tools and exemplary plans. DISCUSSION: The use of a co-design approach in close collaboration between kindergartens, experts, and a team of researchers will ensure contextual relevance and shared ownership. This approach is expected to enhance acceptability, feasibility, and sustainability of the intervention. The mixed-methods evaluation design, use of theoretical implementation frameworks, and tailored strategies further strengthen the study. The findings from this feasibility study will inform the refinement of the final intervention and guide the planning of a forthcoming effectiveness study.
