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
Background and aim: The sustainability of individuals' health is not solely dependent on medical interventions but also on the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of physical literacy on sustainable healthy lifestyle behaviors in adolescents and to investigate the mediating role of physical activity attitude in this relationship. Methods: Physical literacy was defined as the independent variable, sustainable healthy lifestyle as the dependent variable, and physical activity attitude as the mediator. Data were collected from a total of 750 voluntary participants (mean age = 15.71 ± 0.99) using the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument for Adolescents (PPLI), the Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability Scale (LOHAS), and the Youth Physical Activity Attitude Scale (YPAAS). The total score and subscale interpretations of these instruments were considered in the analyses. Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was secured from guardians, as well as assent from the adolescents. Data were analyzed using correlation, regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM), with a significance threshold set at Results: The findings revealed a significant and positive relationship between physical literacy and a sustainable healthy lifestyle ( Conclusion: These results highlight that physical activity attitude plays a partial mediating role in the relationship and demonstrate that physical literacy is not merely a cognitive or skill-based construct, but a comprehensive competency that shapes adolescents' attitudes and behaviors. Accordingly, education and health policies aimed at promoting physical literacy should be supported by holistic strategies that also target attitude transformation. The findings contribute to the theoretical literature and highlight the importance of multifaceted intervention models in promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors among adolescents.
