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

Background: Chinese college teachers' health issues have become increasingly significant, making it crucial to promote their physical health. Based on self-regulation theory, this study aims to explore the relationship and underlying mechanisms between Chinese college teachers' growth mindset of health and their self-rated health. Methods: The study involved 456 Chinese college teachers (213 males, 243 females) who filled out a questionnaire measuring their growth mindset of health, health self-efficacy, physical exercise, and self-rated health. Results: The correlation analysis revealed positive links among Chinese college teachers' growth mindset of health, health self-efficacy, physical exercise, and self-rated health. Further regression analysis indicated that their growth mindset of health positively influenced self-rated health, mediated by health self-efficacy and physical exercise. Conclusion: This study discovered a positive link between Chinese college teachers' growth mindset of health and their self-rated health. It also emphasized the sequential mediating effect of health self-efficacy and physical exercise in this correlation, offering theoretical grounding and valuable insights for promoting college teachers' physical health.
