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 aimed to explore the effect of autonomous fitness behavior on college students' mental health literacy, and the mediating roles of self-control and exercise identity. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey using cluster sampling was conducted among 974 college students from Shandong Province, China. Data on autonomous fitness behavior, mental health literacy, self-control, and exercise identity were collected using standardized scales (Cronbach's Results: (1) Autonomous fitness behavior positively predicted mental health literacy ( Conclusion: Among the surveyed college students, autonomous fitness behavior influences mental health literacy directly and indirectly through the independent mediating effects of self-control and exercise identity, as well as their chain mediating effect. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the mechanism linking autonomous fitness behavior to mental health literacy, which may inform targeted mental health interventions in higher education settings.
