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
Objective: To synthesize the grades of physical activity (PA) indicators for children and adolescents (5-17 years) in Latin American countries; explore the social determinants of health (SDoH) for PA indicators; and identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to improve PA levels. Method: Participating Latin American countries graded a set of common PA indicators following the harmonized methodology established by the Global Matrix initiative. Cross-sectional (2014, 2016, 2018, 2022) and time trend (2018-2022) data were synthesized within and between countries for each PA indicator. PA data were also synthesized according to their SDoH. Report card team leaders completed a questionnaire to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to improve PA grades. Results: Eight Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, and Venezuela) participated in at least one of the four editions of the Global Matrix initiative. Across all PA indicator grades in the region ( Conclusion: Latin American countries reported poor grades on PA indicators for children and adolescents. Contrasted progress was observed between the behavioral and source of influence indicator groups. Improved surveillance systems and greater country-level investment in PA data collection are urgently needed to enhance comparability and guide regional action.
