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
purposeThis study applied the control-value theory of achievement emotions (CVTAE) to investigate how teacher and parent autonomy support influences adolescents' physical exercise through control-value appraisals and achievement emotions in physical education (PE) classes.
methodsA sample of 614 Chinese secondary school students (mean age = 14.75 years) completed paper questionnaires measuring autonomy support, academic control, task value, classroom enjoyment and boredom, exercise volume, and adherence.
resultsResults from structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that both teacher and parental autonomy support positively predicted students' perceived academic control and subjective task value. These appraisals, in turn, fostered greater enjoyment and reduced boredom in PE classes. Enjoyment significantly increased both exercise volume and adherence, whereas boredom negatively impacted only adherence. Mediation analyses revealed that autonomy support indirectly affected exercise outcomes through sequential pathways involving control-value appraisals and classroom emotions.
conclusionThe findings underscore the importance of autonomy-supportive practices from both educators and parents in shaping positive cognitive and emotional experiences in PE classes, thereby promoting adolescents' sustained engagement in physical exercise.
