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

Introduction: This study tested whether affective attitude toward physical activity (PA) acts as a boundary condition for the cognitive attitude-behavior link in adolescents. Methods: Participants were 1,849 middle- and high-school students in Shanghai, China (51% male; Mage = 15.12). Affective and cognitive attitudes were assessed with semantic differential scales, and out-of-school PA behavior was assessed 5-7 days later. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported distinct affective and cognitive attitude factors. Moderation analyses indicated a significant Cognitive × Affective interaction ( Discussion: These findings extend attitude-behavior models by indicating that affective evaluations condition the strength of the cognitive attitude-behavior association and generate a testable hypothesis for future intervention research-namely, that enhancing positive affective evaluations/enjoyment may increase the effectiveness of cognitive benefit messaging-which should be evaluated in experimental designs.
