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 literacy has been increasingly recognized as a foundational capability that supports lifelong engagement in physical activity and positive health outcomes. However, the structural relationships among PL, PA, and well-being remain insufficiently examined in university populations. This study investigated the direct and indirect associations among physical literacy, physical activity, and well-being in South Korean university students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 361 undergraduate students. Physical literacy was measured using the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument, physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and well-being was measured using the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were performed to examine the hypothesized relationships. Indirect effects were tested using bootstrapping procedures. Results: Physical literacy showed a significant association with physical activity ( Conclusions: Physical literacy appears to function not only as a correlate of physical activity but also as a psychosocial resource associated with well-being among university students. Promoting physical literacy in higher education settings may support students' psychological health and active lifestyles.
