The impact of physical exercise on adolescents' social-emotional competence: The chain mediating role of social support and peer relationships.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
This study aims to explore the relationship between physical exercise and adolescents' social-emotional competence, and analyze the chain mediating effects of social support and peer relationships. Data from 316 adolescents were collected through questionnaires, and measurements were conducted on four aspects: physical exercise, social support, peer relationships, and adolescents' social-emotional competence. The results showed that physical exercise had a significant positive predictive effect on adolescents' social-emotional competence, with social support and peer relationships playing significant mediating roles between physical exercise and adolescents' social-emotional competence. Three specific mediating pathways were identified: (1) the independent mediating effect of social support between physical exercise and adolescents' social-emotional competence; (2) the independent mediating effect of peer relationships between physical exercise and adolescents' social-emotional competence; and (3) the chain mediating effect of social support and peer relationships between physical exercise and adolescents' social-emotional competence. The findings reveal the intrinsic mechanisms through which physical exercise influences adolescents' social-emotional competence, while also providing theoretical support and practical evidence for promoting the development of adolescents' social-emotional competence.
