The relationship between physical activity self-worth and body appreciation among physically active women: the mediating role of psychological resilience.

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
Background: Physical activity self-worth reflects the value women attribute to themselves through being physically active and has been associated with more positive body-related outcomes. Psychological resilience may help explain this link by supporting adaptive coping and more constructive self-perceptions. In this study, the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between physical activity self-worth and body appreciation was examined among physically active women. Method: A quantitative correlational design was used with 640 physically active women. In the study, women's physical activity self-worth, body appreciation, and psychological resilience were assessed using the Women's Physical Activity Self-Worth Scale, the Body Appreciation Scale, and the Brief Resilience Scale. Mediation was tested with Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4) using 5,000 bootstrap resamples, and direct, total, and indirect effects were evaluated via bootstrap confidence intervals. Results: Physical activity self-worth significantly predicted psychological resilience ( Conclusion: Psychological resilience mediates the association between physical activity self-worth and body appreciation in physically active women, indicating that resilience-related processes are relevant for understanding and supporting positive body-related evaluations.
