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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the implementation and outcomes of the Build Our Kids' Success (BOKS) program in Indonesia, conducted in urban Jakarta and rural East Nusa Tenggara (ENT). The program, funded by Sun Life, was carried out to enhance children's physical activity levels and nutritional knowledge as part of an intervention to address inactivity among children.
methodsA total of 382 primary school students, comprising 132 from urban and 250 from rural settings, participated in a 12-week BOKS program, consisting of nine core physical activities such as running, burpees, and jumping jacks, led by trained physical education teachers. Quantitative analysis was conducted to assess the proportion of children meeting the World Health Organization's (WHO) physical activity recommendations, average daily minutes of physical activity, perceived environmental support, and nutrition knowledge. Data were collected pre- and post-intervention using adapted standardized instruments. Paired t-tests were conducted to determine significant changes.
resultsThe results showed that the percentage of children meeting WHO physical activity recommendations significantly increased from 64.1% to 83.8%, accompanied by a rise in average daily physical activity from 107.09 minutes to 136.23 minutes. Improvements were observed in both settings, with urban schools showing greater gains in WHO adherence, while rural maintained higher baseline activity levels. Changes in perceived environmental support were not statistically significant, whereas nutrition knowledge reached statistical significance.
conclusionThe BOKS program effectively improved physical activity levels among Indonesian primary school children in both urban and rural settings. These results supported the integration of structured physical activity and nutrition education into school curricula as a strategy to combat children's inactivity and promote healthy lifestyles in low-resource settings.
