Exploring the mediating role of social support and learning engagement in the relationship between physical activity and academic achievement in secondary school students.

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: The academic achievement of secondary school students has consistently been a focal topic of interest among researchers. However, the relationship between physical activity and academic achievement, along with its underlying mechanisms, remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical activity and academic achievement of secondary school students, and to verify the mediating role of social support and learning engagement between them. Methods: Based on the purpose, a survey was conducted involving 3,230 secondary school students ( Results: Independent Sample Conclusion: Physical activity not only directly predicts academic achievement in middle school students, but also directly through the separate mediating roles of social support and learning engagement, and indirectly through the chained mediating roles of social support and learning engagement. These findings underscore the significant influence of physical activity on academic achievement, offering valuable insights for educators in developing and implementing strategies that foster students' academic development.
