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

Objective: The present study aims to investigate the effects of different modes of high-intensity interval training on the self-control and physical fitness levels of college students. Methods: 1. The participants of this study comprised 58 college students, who were randomly divided into three groups: an online experimental group (A = 20), an online-offline experimental group (B = 18), and a control group (C = 20). The Chinese Self-Control Scale (CSCS) and the Physical Fitness Level Test (PHLT) were administered to all participants before and after the intervention, and the test results were then assigned to the respective scores. Group A performed online only, Group B performed online-offline Tai Chi practice, 40 min/1 time/week, 30 min/1 time/week jogging and 40 min/2 times/week high-intensity interval training for 8 weeks, and Group C did not undergo high-intensity interval training. 2. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0, including one-way ANOVA for pre-test group differences, paired t-tests for within-group differences, and ANOVA and LSD tests for post-test group differences. Results: 1. A significant improvement in the total score of self-control was observed in group B ( Conclusion: 1. A variety of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) formats have been demonstrated to enhance the physical fitness and health of university students. 2. The online-offline HIIT methodology has been shown to assist in enhancing the self-control of university students. 3. The online-offline HIIT methodology has the capacity to more effectively improve the self-control ability and physical fitness of college students. Suggestion: Physical education teachers implement high-intensity interval training programs using online and offline methods to enhance self-control and fitness in university students.
