Effects of outdoor sports on college students' learning burnout: a multiple mediation model of social support and self-regulation.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 alleviating effect of outdoor sports on learning burnout among university students, focusing on the mediating roles of social support and self-regulation ability. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 942 university students in China. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to explore the direct and indirect effects of outdoor sports on learning burnout. Results: The results revealed that outdoor sports negatively predicted learning burnout both directly and indirectly. Social support and self-regulation ability were found to partially mediate this relationship. Additionally, a significant chain mediation effect was identified, where outdoor sports enhanced social support, which in turn fostered self-regulation, ultimately reducing learning burnout. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of integrating outdoor sports into mental health and academic support strategies. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how external and internal psychological resources interact to reduce academic stress and promote well-being.
