The impact of physical activity on innovative behavior: a moderated mediation model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In contemporary educational practices, the innovative behavior of secondary school students is frequently inhibited by exam pressure, limiting opportunities for generating and implementing innovative ideas. Activating innovative potential through non-cognitive skill interventions during secondary school has become a crucial factor in cultivating innovative talent for higher education. This study aims to explore the impact of physical activity on the innovative behavior of middle school students. It constructs a theoretical model using Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as the core framework, with body image state as a mediator and perceived school climate as a moderator. Using the Physical Activity Scale, Body Image State Scale, Perceived School Climate Scale, and Innovative Behavior Scale, a survey was conducted with 1,643 middle school students, and hypotheses were tested through SPSS 26.0 and the PROCESS macro. (1) Physical activity significantly positively predicts innovative behavior; (2) Body image state mediates the relationship between physical activity and innovative behavior; (3) Perceived school climate moderates the relationship between physical activity and innovative behavior, with a strengthening moderation effect. Physical activity promotes innovative behavior by enhancing body image state, and supportive school resources and inclusive interpersonal environments strengthen this process. This study provides theoretical support and an operational model for integrating "physical education + innovation development" in secondary schools.
