Correlational research on college students' physical exercise behavior, academic engagement, and self-efficacy.

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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the current status of physical exercise behavior, academic engagement, and self-efficacy among non-physical education college students. Additionally, it sought to analyze the relationships between these factors in order to explore the potential impact of physical exercise on learning and self-efficacy. Methods: To examine the current status and relationships between physical exercise behavior, academic engagement, and self-efficacy, this study used the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GESE) as research tools. A stratified random sampling method was employed, and non-physical education college students were selected as participants. A total of 1,596 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The data were processed using SPSS 26.0, AMOS 26.0, and Excel 2010, with statistical analyses including one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediation effect testing. Results: Physical exercise behavior among non-physical education students showed significant positive correlations with academic engagement ( Conclusion: Physical exercise behavior significantly predicts academic engagement, and a positive predictive relationship exists between physical exercise and self-efficacy. Additionally, self-efficacy plays a significant role in predicting academic engagement. Self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between physical exercise behavior and academic engagement.
