Generational and gendered perceptions of weightlifting: a cross-sectional survey.

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
Introduction: This study aimed to describe perceptions of weightlifting across generations, and to examine differences toward women and youth cross-generationally. Methods: 295 Participants (40.1 ± 16.3 [18-78] years, 62.4% female) completed an electronic survey capturing demographics, weightlifting history, and weightlifting perceptions. An adapted version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale (MOEES) assessed weightlifting perceptions using a 5-point Likert scale (1- Strongly Disagree to 5-Strongly Agree). Participants completed the MOEES for themselves and for four randomized case scenarios (8-year-old child, 15-year-old teen, 30-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man). Participants were grouped by birth year (Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation). Kruskal-Wallis tests assessed differences in MOEES scores by generational group. Pairwise comparisons were performed with Bonferroni-adjusted p-values ( Results: Baby Boomers reported less favorable perceptions than Gen Z and Millennials for their own participation in weightlifting (Baby Boomers vs. Gen Z, Discussion: The results highlight less favorable perceptions of weightlifting among older generations, with declining expectations across multiple domains for each older generation. These findings underscore the need for targeted education on the safety and efficacy of weightlifting, particularly for individuals from older generations.
