Exploring the correlates of frequency of Tai Chi Chuan participation among Chinese adults in an urban context.
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 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) has achieved global recognition and was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020. However, a significant gap remains in research examining the correlates of TCC participation. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing data from a sample of adult TCC practitioners in urban parks in Zhengzhou City. Methods: This study collected data from 998 Chinese adults practicing TCC in public parks in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, using face-to-face questionnaire interviews. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and backward stepwise ordinal regression modeling. Results: Twelve independent variables were found to be significantly associated with the frequency of TCC participation: age, mental problems, health problems, investment, alternate spaces, distance, awards, health motivation, partners, gender, nature of labor, and migration. The remaining variables showed no significant association with participation frequency. Conclusion: This study identified key determinants influencing the frequency of TCC participation among Chinese adults. The research findings provide important evidence for developing intervention strategies aimed at increasing participation frequency.
