Age- and sex-specific reference values for physical literacy in Colombian children: a GAMLSS analysis of the CAPL-2.

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: Physical literacy is a multidimensional construct that integrates physical competence, daily behavior, motivation and confidence, and knowledge and understanding; however, the interpretation of assessment scores may vary across sociocultural contexts. This study aimed to develop age- and sex-specific reference values for the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy, second edition (CAPL-2), in Colombian schoolchildren aged 8-12 years. Methods: A cross-sectional multicenter sample of 843 children from the six geographical subregions of Colombia was assessed using the Colombian Spanish adaptation of the CAPL-2. Generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape were fitted separately by sex to estimate smoothed percentiles for the total score and four domains, with age modeled continuously in the location ( Results: Physical Competence and total scores increased with age and were generally higher in boys, whereas Motivation and Confidence showed greater stability, particularly among boys. Daily Behavior and several physical assessment components also showed higher values in boys, while Knowledge and Understanding showed comparatively small age- and sex-related differences. Importantly, the official interpretive categories occupied markedly different percentile positions across domains. Discussion: These findings provide contextual reference values that complement the original classification system and allow CAPL-2 performance to be interpreted relative to children of the same age and sex within a geographically diverse Colombian reference sample, without constituting diagnostic thresholds or nationally representative norms.
