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 physical activity, social adaptation, pro-social behavior, and psychological capital, and to examine the mediating role of social adaptation in the influence of physical activity on psychological capital and the moderating role of pro-social behavior on this mediating effect. In this study, a cross-sectional study design was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 415 students from a 211 university in Ningxia, and their physical activity, psychological capital, social adaptation and prosocial data were collected during the break. In addition, this study conducted Harman single factor test, independent sample t test, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and moderated mediating effect model analysis on the data. Physical activity was positively correlated with psychological capital, social adaptation and prosocial behavior. Social adaptation plays a mediating role in the influence of physical activity on psychological capital, and prosocial behavior has a moderating effect on this mediating process ( the moderating effect value is – 0.018 ). When prosocial behavior is at a low level, there is significant mediation of physical activity on psychological capital through social adaptation, but when prosocial behavior is a high level, mediation is not significant. Physical exercise helps to improve the psychological capital of college students, and social adaptation plays an intermediary role in this process; at the same time, it should be noted that prosocial behavior has a moderating effect on the mediating process. This suggests that we should fully consider the impact of prosocial behavior when formulating relevant interventions.
