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
Introduction: Group exercise in the form of an extreme conditioning program training can have positive psychological outcomes for participants. This study aims to investigate whether involvement in this kind of program affects the development of subjective well being, as measured by the PERMA profiler, considering social capital as a mediator in the relationship between involvement and subjective well being. Methods: The data were collected through an online survey of adults who participated in an extreme conditioning program training in Greece, with a sample of 590 individuals. Involvement was measured using a three-dimensional model: centrality, attraction, and self-expression. Social capital was measured based on the three domains: network, trust, and reciprocity. Finally, subjective well being was measured with the PERMA profiler, including the dimensions of positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. Aiming to explore the direct and indirect effects of attraction, centrality, and self-expression on positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment, via social capital, a mediation analysis was conducted. The mediation model was assessed through path coefficients, and indirect effects were examined to ascertain the degree to which social capital mediated the relationship between attraction, centrality, self-expression, and well being dimensions. Results: The results indicated moderate to strong statistical relationships between involvement and social capital, as well as between social capital and well being. Furthermore, social capital fully mediated the relationship between centrality and well being and partially mediated the relationship between attraction and well being. These results support the value of group exercise in the form of an extreme conditioning program. Conclusion: These results support the value of group exercise in the form of extreme conditioning program training in developing social capital and positively influencing participants' subjective well being.
