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

objectiveTo explore the associations among physical education teachers' autonomy support, basic psychological needs, psychological resilience, and college students' exercise engagement, and to examine the chain mediating pathways.

methodsA total of 1,394 college students were investigated by random sampling using the College Students' Exercise Engagement Scale, Physical Education Teachers' Autonomy Support Scale, Basic Psychological Needs Scale, and Psychological Resilience Scale.

results(1) Physical education teachers' autonomy support positively predicted college students' exercise engagement; (2) basic psychological needs played a mediating role in the relationship between physical education teachers' autonomy support and college students' exercise engagement; (3) psychological resilience served as a mediating variable in the association between physical education teachers' autonomy support and college students' exercise engagement; (4) basic psychological needs mediated the relationship between physical education teachers' autonomy support and psychological resilience.

conclusionBasic psychological needs and psychological resilience exert a chain mediating effect between physical education teachers' autonomy support and college students' exercise engagement. These findings provide empirical evidence and path implications for improving college students' exercise engagement through teaching interventions.
