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
Objective: This study aims to examine the moderating effect of perceived social support and the mediating role of self-control in the relationship between psychological resilience and martial arts experience among first-year college students. Methods: A cluster sampling method was used to select 1,291 university freshmen from Jiangsu Province. Data were collected through a basic information questionnaire, a Martial Arts Practice Experience Questionnaire, a Psychological Resilience Scale, a Self-Control Scale, and a Perceived Social Support Scale. Results: (1) College freshmen with martial arts practice experience demonstrate greater psychological resilience and self-control than those without martial arts practice experience. (2) Martial arts practice experience was significantly positively correlated with psychological resilience ( Conclusion: The findings revealed a moderated mediating relationship between martial arts practice experience and psychological resilience among college freshmen, with self-control serving as a mediating variable between the two factors. Additionally, perceived social support strengthened the positive effect of self-control on psychological resilience among college freshmen.
