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

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between green exercise and suicidal ideation among first-year university students and to explore the mediating role of entrance anxiety in this association. Methods: A total of 713 freshmen participated in a cross-sectional survey using standardized questionnaires assessing green exercise, entrance anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Demographic variables (gender, family economic status, place of origin, and only-child status) were controlled. Data were analyzed with SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 26.0. Reliability, validity, and common method bias were tested, followed by structural equation modeling (SEM) and a bias-corrected bootstrapping analysis with 5,000 resamples to examine direct and indirect effects. Results: The SEM results indicated that green exercise significantly reduced entrance anxiety (β = -0.36, Conclusion: Green exercise effectively alleviates entrance anxiety and reduces suicidal ideation among university freshmen. These findings highlight the mental health benefits of outdoor physical activity and suggest that integrating green exercise into campus life may serve as an effective preventive strategy against anxiety and suicidal ideation.
