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

Outdoor sports education is a specific field of study that examines the influence of environmental, pedagogical, and personal factors on students’ cognitive development. This study investigates the implications of learning environment, teaching techniques, student engagement, and learning outcomes on the intellectual development of outdoor sports education. It also examines the moderating and mediating effects of past outdoor experience on this relationship and on student satisfaction. Structured questionnaires were used to poll 650 students from different institutes in China. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to assess the predictive power of the independent components of intellectual development. Further, the study employed moderation-mediation analysis to discuss the mediated relationship between students’ satisfaction and their past outdoor experience and the learning outcomes. The results showed that significant predictors of intellectual development were the quality of the teaching environment (β = 0.25, p < 0.001), the efficiency of the teaching technique (β = 0.30, p < 0.001), student engagement (β = 0.15, p < 0.001), and learning outcomes (β = 0.20, p < 0.001). This association is mediated by student satisfaction (β = 0.30, p < 0.001, CI 0.16, 0.44) and moderated by prior outdoor exposure (β = -0.25, p = 0.002, CI −0.41, −0.09). The study emphasizes supportive learning environments, effective teaching, and student engagement to foster intellectual development in outdoor sports education.
