Effects of Sustainability via Active Garden Education on preschool-aged children's locomotor skills.
Trial report in Translational behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03261492 (Partnering for PA in Early Childhood), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundPhysical activity and locomotor skills influence children's current and future health trajectories. PURPOSE: To (i) assess the effect of Sustainability via Active Garden Education (SAGE) intervention on locomotor skills in children, and (ii) test whether changes were related to the fidelity and dose of the program.
methodsSAGE installed a garden in early care and education (ECE) facilities and implemented a curriculum consisting of 12 one-hour sessions to promote healthy eating and physical activity. Quantitative locomotor skills were assessed by the number of laps completed on the progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run (PACER), while qualitative assessment was conducted using the CHAMPS protocol. Fidelity was the number of active games completed, while dose was the number of gross motor skills implemented. Two-level linear mixed models adjusted by sex and age examined the effects of SAGE on locomotor outcomes. Fidelity and dose were tested as moderators.
resultsA total of 173 children [50.90% boys; mean age 4.43 years (SD: 0.38)] participated in the study. Significant improvements over time were observed on overall qualitative locomotor score [β = 2.51; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.32; 3.70], and the subscores of slide (β = 1.04; 95% CI: 0.54; 1.55) and hop (β = 1.16; 95% CI: 0.61; 1.72). There was a significant effect of SAGE on the hop skill score in the intervention group compared to control (β = 1.14; 95% CI: 0.41; 2.24). Fidelity and dose delivered did not moderate changes.
conclusionsChildren's overall qualitative locomotor score, hop, and slide skills increased across both groups. Participation in SAGE improved the hop locomotor skill. THE CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: The study clinical trials registration is NCT03261492.
