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

backgroundThe decreasing interest and participation in sports among university students has become a growing concern, negatively impacting their physical and mental health. Modern university students engage less in regular physical exercise despite having more leisure time. This study explores whether integrating public welfare activities into sports can enhance students' interest and participation in physical activities.

methodsA longitudinal intervention experiment was conducted with 360 university students from Zhejiang Province, randomly assigned to an experimental group (248 students) and a control group (112 students). The experimental group participated in sports activities integrated with public welfare initiatives, while the control group engaged in a general sports project without philanthropic elements. Changes in sports behavior were assessed using a stage classification model of exercise participation, and sports interest was measured through validated questionnaires.

resultsThe research results figure out that the Public Welfare Sports can distinctly promote periodic change of the Students' Exercises Interests and Behavior. When controlled the Low-initial exercises interests, the exercises interests contribute to the significant of positive effect on the interests in public welfare sports. The influence of public welfare sports on the Students' Exercises Interests & Behavior is distinct. This study enriches the relevant theories of public welfare sport area and as a reference for theoretical support for how to better plan public welfare sports programs, in this way the public welfare and the sports can be combined effectively as well as promoting the students' interest in sports.

conclusionThe study suggests that public welfare engagement can drive behavioral change, offering valuable insights for designing sports programs that effectively encourage sustained participation.
