Study on the impact of multiple factors on 4-year physical fitness test results of undergraduate students at a Chinese comprehensive university: based on the mediating role of exercise habits.

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
This study employed a 4-year longitudinal tracking design with 1,154 undergraduate students at a comprehensive university in northern China as research subjects, and systematically explored the pathways through which multiple factors are associated with physical fitness and health via exercise habits using structural equation modeling and cross-lagged panel analysis. The research findings revealed: the Physical Fitness Composite Index (PFCI) decreased from 73.26 points at enrollment to 68.52 points at graduation, while exercise habit intensity decreased from 4.82 to 3.54 over the same period; exercise habits served as a statistically significant partial mediator in the process through which individual factors (self-efficacy, exercise motivation, health beliefs), social factors (peer support, family influence), and environmental factors (facility accessibility, time management) were associated with physical fitness and health, with indirect effects accounting for 39.2-60.9% of the total effects; exercise self-efficacy was the strongest individual predictor (
