1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The scientific community still lacks effective assessment tools for evaluating college students' PE course satisfaction. Addressing this gap will help to foster improved learning experiences and satisfaction among college students during PE course, and help achieve better health outcomes and support consistent healthy habits. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a PE course satisfaction scale for Chinese college students (PECSS-CCS). Methods: We identified a primary scale based on a literature review and semi-structured interviews with experts. This scale were then administered to 996 Chinese students from colleges within a public university. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were combined to establish and verify the structural validity of PECSS-CCS. The scale's reliability was assessed through internal consistency and temporal stability tests. To assess the validity of the scale, we administered the tests of content validity, construct validity, convergent validity and criterion-related validity. And we verified measurement invariance across gender groups. Results: According to EFA ( Conclusion: In summary, the PECSS-CCS, which includes 26 items, demonstrates satisfactory reliability and validity, serving as a valid assessment tool for PE course satisfaction among Chinese college students.
