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

Objective: This study investigates the effect of trait mindfulness on self-efficacy in sports-disadvantaged Chinese college students, focusing on the sequential mediating roles of exercise motivation and persistence, to inform interventions that enhance physical activity and psychological well-being. Method: A randomly selected sample of 600 sports-disadvantaged college students in China was surveyed, yielding 588 valid responses (male = 296, 50.3%; female = 292, 49.7%). Participants ranged in age from 18 to 23 years ( Results: Significant correlations were identified among trait mindfulness, self-efficacy ( Conclusion: This study offers critical theoretical insights into the interplay between trait mindfulness, exercise behavior, and self-efficacy among sports-disadvantaged college students. It provides a foundation for developing targeted interventions and practical guidance for universities in enhancing sports education, optimizing resource allocation, and establishing psychological support systems. By addressing the unique needs of this population, institutions can foster greater physical engagement and psychological well-being, thereby advancing overall student health.
