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
Objective: This study aims to address the research gap in comparing the effects of traditional physical education and outdoor education on cultivating grit among college students. Through large-scale empirical analysis, it examines the differential benefits of these two approaches, providing a critical evidence base for developing targeted psychological quality cultivation systems in higher education institutions. Methods: Comparative analysis method was used on participants consisting of 1,247 college students (traditional physical education: Results: Pre-test interest scores of college students in traditional physical education classes were significantly lower than the post-test scores. The differences in total resilience scores, persistence effort, and interest consistency among college students before and after traditional physical education classes and outdoor education classes were statistically significant. There was a significant difference in the total score of grit and persistence effort between male and female college students in traditional physical education course. The total score of grit, persistence effort, and interest consistency before and after outdoor education course were significantly improved. However, male college students showed no significant improvement in their perseverance effort through outdoor education classes. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that both traditional physical education and outdoor education positively impact on grit of college students, with outdoor education being more effective than traditional physical education in cultivating grit among college students. However, to effectively enhance resilience of college students, traditional physical education need to focus on improving the interest consistency dimension, with a particularly emphasis on increasing persistence and effort dimension within outdoor education for male students.
