Analyzing the effect of physical activity on sleep quality in college students using the chain mediation model.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSleep quality represents a pressing issue that currently confronts college students in China, garnering significant attention from researchers in the field.
methodsThe present study employed a questionnaire survey method to investigate and analyze 704 college students using the Physical Activity Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale, Stress Perception Scale, and ruminative thinking Scale. The objective of this investigation was to examine the chain mediating effect of stress perception and ruminative thinking in college student groups and to elucidate the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality.
results(1) Physical activity, stress perception, and ruminative thinking are bivocally associated with sleep quality in college students. (2) Physical activity negatively predicted stress perception and negatively predicted ruminative thinking and sleep quality among college students; stress perception positively predicted ruminative thinking and sleep quality; and ruminative thinking positively predicted sleep quality.
conclusionStress perception and ruminative thinking individually mediate, and stress perception and ruminative thinking chain mediate, the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality in college students.
