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
In recent years, pedagogical models (PMs) have gained increasing attention in physical education (PE) due to their potential to enhance students' motivational outcomes. This study aimed to systematically synthesize the available evidence on the effects of pedagogical models on autonomous motivation, a motivation, basic psychological needs satisfaction, and intention to be physically active among children and adolescents. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Searches were performed in Scopus, Web of Sciences, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, ERIC and PsychARTICLES. A total of 20 studies were included in the analysis. Exploratory meta-regression analyses were performed to examine whether content area, pedagogical approach, intervention duration, educational stage, and participants' age were associated with the observed effects. The pooled analyses suggested that pedagogical models were associated with higher autonomous motivation (
