Social support and anxiety, a moderated mediating 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 12 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
This study aims to explore the relationship between social support and anxiety among college students, as well as the mediating role of resilience and the moderating effect of physical exercise. A questionnaire survey was conducted to measure levels of social support, resilience, physical exercise, and anxiety among 1097 college students from two universities in Hunan Province. A total of 997 valid questionnaires were collected, with 562 from male students and 435 from female students. Statistical analysis revealed that social support significantly negatively predicts anxiety, with family support being the most prominent. Additionally, the impact of social support on anxiety is moderated by physical exercise. Resilience plays a significant mediating role between social support and anxiety. Enhancing resilience through physical exercise can help prevent anxiety-related behaviors among college students and improve their overall mental health.
