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
Objective: This study examines the impact of physical activity on academic burnout among Yi elementary school students in Southwest China, as well as the mediating roles of psychological resilience and loneliness, and the moderating effect of grade level. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,104 Yi elementary school students (grades 5 ~ 6) in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Participants completed standardized measures of physical activity, mental toughness, loneliness, and academic burnout. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis and moderated chain mediation modeling with bootstrapping. Results: Physical activity is negatively correlated with loneliness and academic burnout, and positively correlated with mental toughness. Mediation analysis revealed three significant pathways: 1) the mediating effect of mental toughness alone (57% of the total effect), 2) the mediating effect of loneliness alone (26%), and 3) Chain-mediated effect between the two (17%). Grade level significantly moderated the final path from loneliness to academic burnout ( Conclusion: Physical activities alleviate academic burnout by reducing loneliness through enhanced mental toughness. The stronger association between loneliness and burnout among senior students underscores the necessity of implementing developmentally appropriate interventions.
