Effects of physical activity on academic burnout among rural left-behind children in China: the chain-mediated roles of loneliness and general self-efficacy.
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 5 papers.
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
Purpose: To explore the impact of physical activity on academic burnout among rural left-behind children. Methods: In total, 195 rural left-behind children of Furen Primary School in Yongzhou City by combining stratified and cluster sampling methods. Participants completed the Physical Activity Scale, the Academic Burnout Scale, the Loneliness Scale, and the General Self-efficacy Scale. Results: (1) Empirical evidence indicates alarming rates of academic burnout among rural left-behind children in China. (2) Physical activity was significantly associated with reduced academic burnout. Our serial mediation model showed that physical activity had a significant direct effect on academic burnout ( Conclusion: Physical activity can affect rural left-behind children' academic burnout both directly and through mediating effects. Loneliness and general self-efficacy partially mediate the impact of physical activity and academic burnout.
