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

Introduction: Peer victimization (PV) is associated with physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents, potentially through psychological factors such as self-esteem and physical self-concept. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined the association between PV and PA and the mediating roles of self-esteem and physical self-concept. Methods: A total of 1,063 students (mean age = 12.53 ± 1.75 years; grades 5-9) from twelve schools in Taiyuan completed the MPVS, PARS-3, SES, and Physical Self-Concept Scale. Associations and mediation effects were analyzed statistically. Results: PV was negatively associated with PA and with self-esteem and physical self-concept ( Discussion: PV negatively influences PA both directly and indirectly through self-esteem and physical self-concept. Interventions targeting victimization and improving self-related perceptions may help promote physical activity in youth.
