Analyzing the effect of physical exercise on subjective well-being of university students using the chain mediation model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Subjective well-being is one of the important factors affecting the mental health of college students, and although studies have proven the effectiveness of physical exercise on subjective well-being, the mechanism of the influence of physical exercise on subjective well-being has yet to be studied in depth. Therefore, this study constructed a mechanism model of the influence of physical activity on college students' subjective well-being, and used the Physical Activity Scale, Subjective Well-being Scale, Mental Toughness Scale, and Stress Perception Scale to investigate 600 college students, and examined the chain mediating role of mental toughness and stress perception in the relationship between physical activity and college students' subjective well-being. It was found that (1) there is a significant correlation between physical exercise, mental toughness, stress perception, and college students' subjective well-being; (2) mental toughness and stress perception mediate between physical exercise and college students' subjective well-being; and (3) mental toughness and stress perception chain mediate between physical exercise and subjective well-being. This result suggests that mental toughness and perceived stress not only play independent roles but also chain-mediated roles between physical activity and college students' subjective well-being.
