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
Exercise intention is a crucial predictor of exercise behavior; however, the existence of the "intention-behavior gap" is an undeniable fact, and the strength and mechanisms of their relationship remain controversial. This study, based on 92 empirical studies (109 independent samples, 47,548 participants), employs meta-analysis to examine the relationship strength between exercise intention and behavior, the moderating effects of participant characteristics, and the mediating role of planning and action control. The findings are as follows: (1) the relationship strength between exercise intention and behavior is moderate (
