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

Background: While theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence consistently identify physical exercise as a key factor in promoting subjective wellbeing among young adults, the specific pathways and mechanisms underlying this relationship remain largely underexplored. This research aims to investigate the potential mechanism with subjective socioeconomic status and social support as mediators among Chinese young adults. Methods: This research utilized a cross-sectional approach in the study design to conduct an online survey among Chinese college students. Through convenience sampling, a total of 630 young adults ( Results: Results indicated that physical activity, subjective socioeconomic status, social support, and subjective wellbeing were significantly associated with each other. (1) Physical activity was significantly associated with subjective wellbeing ( Conclusion: Physical activity could positively predict Chinese young adults' subjective wellbeing through subjective socioeconomic status and social support as mediators, which indicates that young adults should regularly participate in physical activities and increase social support to enhance their mental health and overall sense of wellbeing.
