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

Background: Physical inactivity among Chinese adolescents remains a pressing public health concern, with pronounced urban-rural disparities. School sports environments serve as a critical determinant of adolescent physical activity (PA), yet the conditions under which this relationship strengthens or weakens remain insufficiently understood. Digital health literacy (DHL) has emerged as a potential moderator that may amplify or buffer environmental influences on PA behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,531 adolescents (M Results: School sports environment was positively associated with PA levels ( Conclusion: DHL amplifies the translation of favorable school sports environments into actual PA engagement, and the environment-PA association was stronger in urban schools. These findings suggest a potential pathway through which digital inequities may contribute to PA disparities, a possibility that requires longitudinal confirmation, and underscore the need for integrated school-based and digital literacy interventions to advance health equity.
