1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aims to explore the relationship between mandatory exercise and exercise habits in colleges and universities and to investigate the multiple mediating effects of self-efficacy and exercise attitudes. The study adopted convenience sampling, with 589 junior students as the research subjects, and conducted a questionnaire survey using professional scales. The results show that mandatory exercise in colleges and universities has a significant positive effect on the formation of exercise habits. Self-efficacy and exercise attitudes play a significant mediating role and chain mediating effect between mandatory exercise and exercise habits, with the direct effect being the most significant, followed by the chaining effect, the mediating effect of self-efficacy, and the mediating effect of exercise attitudes. This study further reveals the internal mechanism underlying the relationship between mandatory exercise and exercise habits, which is highly important for promoting the development of "exercise habits," i.e., the overall development of college and university students.
