Experimental effects of multi-dance sport training on student performance: a dual analysis of physical fitness and aesthetic skill development.

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
Introduction: This study addresses growing concerns about declining physical fitness and insufficient aesthetic literacy among university students. These issues are compounded by the limitations of traditional physical education in supporting holistic development. Dance-based interventions are proposed as a potential solution to bridge this gap. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 90 female physical education majors, who were randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups: rumba, waltz, or yoga. Participants underwent 16 weeks of systematic training. Physical and aesthetic adaptations were evaluated using standardized physical tests and psychometric assessments. Results: All three interventions led to significant improvements in core strength, lower-body power, agility, and flexibility ( Discussion: The findings highlight the genre-specific advantages of dance modalities in fostering both physical and aesthetic development. These results provide empirical support for incorporating dance-based training into higher education physical education curricula to promote holistic student development.
