Mediating effects of physical fitness index between physical activity and executive function in Chinese adolescents: an observational study.

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: To explore the mediating effect of physical fitness index between physical activity and executive function in Chinese adolescents, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving adolescents' physical fitness status and executive function. Methods: A total of 5,336 adolescents aged 13-18 years were sampled from September to December 2023 in Changzhi, Taizhou, Jishou, Nanchang, Suzhou, Xianyang, and Yulin, China, respectively, using stratified whole cluster random sampling. Adolescents' physical activity, physical fitness index and executive function were assessed using questionnaires combined with tests. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the characteristics of each test index of adolescents, Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the relationship between physical fitness index, physical activity, and executive function, and the mediation model was used to test the mediating effect of physical fitness index between physical activity and executive function. Results: The length of participation in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was 110 (63, 187) min/week in the high fitness index group and 93 (53, 168) min/week in the low fitness index group, which was statistically different when comparing the two groups (Z = -4.286, Conclusion: Fully mediated effects of the adolescent fitness index between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and working memory and cognitive flexibility.
