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
Introduction: Learning fatigue has become increasingly prominent among Chinese college students under intense academic competition and educational "involution," which threatens their mental health and sustainable academic development. Understanding how physical exercise and positive psychological resources may alleviate learning fatigue is therefore of great practical and theoretical significance in the context of Chinese higher education. Objective: To explore the relationship between physical exercise and learning fatigue among Chinese college students, as well as the relationship between psychological capital and achievement motivation. Research method: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 502 Chinese college students (54.8% male and 45.2% female) using the Physical Exercise Rating Scale, Learning Fatigue Rating Scale, Psychological Capital Scale, and Achievement Motivation Scale. SPSS 27.0, PROCESS 3.4 plugin, and Bootstrap method were used to analyze the data and test the chain mediation effect of psychological capital and achievement motivation. Result: The direct impact value of physical exercise on college students' learning fatigue is -0.008, and the impact values of psychological capital and achievement motivation between physical exercise and college students' learning fatigue are -0.003 and -0.002, respectively. The chain mediation effect of psychological capital and achievement motivation is significant, with an effect value of -0.001. Conclusion: (1) Physical exercise can significantly positively predict psychological capital and achievement motivation, and significantly negatively predict learning fatigue; (2) The direct and indirect effects of physical exercise on college students' learning fatigue are significant. Physical exercise can significantly predict college students' learning fatigue through the independent mediating effect of psychological capital and achievement motivation, as well as through the chain mediating effect of psychological capital and achievement motivation.
