Direct and Indirect Parental Support for Meeting Physical Activity Recommendations Among Chilean Children and Adolescents.

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
introductionPhysical activity (PA) is vital during development, yet compliance with the 60-min daily moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) recommendation remains low in Chile. This study examined direct and indirect support reported by mothers and fathers and their separate associations with children's and adolescents' compliance with MVPA recommendations.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 246 schoolchildren (ages 9-19) from three cities. PA was assessed via the YAP questionnaire, while parental support was measured through a 5-item scale. Logistic regression models identified associations with meeting PA guidelines.
resultsOnly 32.1% of students met PA recommendations, with significant gender disparities (boys 47.7% vs. girls 15.3%). Two paternal instrumental support behaviours were significantly associated with meeting MVPA recommendations: providing transportation (OR = 1.52) and financial support during weekdays (OR = 3.36). None of the maternal support behaviours examined showed statistically significant associations.
conclusionsPaternal logistical and financial contributions are decisive for children's PA, whereas mothers reported several support behaviours more frequently than fathers. Paternal transportation and weekday financial support were positively associated with meeting MVPA recommendations. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether these forms of support contribute prospectively to children's and adolescents' PA.
