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

Objective: This study examined the association between adolescents' perceived task value in sport and exercise adherence, as well as whether this association was explained by a serial mediation pathway through general self-efficacy and action planning. Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 15 to December 15, 2025. Participants were 572 Chinese secondary-school students recruited from Tianjin, Guangxi, Hebei, and Liaoning. Measures assessed perceived task value in sport, general self-efficacy, action planning, and exercise adherence. Pearson correlations were computed, and a serial mediation model was tested using SPSS PROCESS (Model 6) with standardized coefficients and 5,000 bootstrap resamples to generate bias-corrected 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Perceived task value in sport was positively correlated with general self-efficacy ( Conclusion: Adolescents who perceive higher task value in sport report stronger exercise adherence, both directly and indirectly through greater general self-efficacy and more concrete action planning. Interventions may enhance adherence by strengthening task value perceptions, building efficacy through mastery experiences and feedback, and training adolescents to formulate feasible action plans.
