The relationship between body pain, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue in Chinese adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Body pain and fatigue are significant components of subhealth in adolescents. However, few studies to date have examined the cross-temporal interrelationships among body pain, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue in Chinese adolescents. Methods: This study employed a longitudinal design. Body pain, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue were assessed in 966 Chinese adolescents through two waves of surveys conducted 1 year apart. Descriptive statistics, Harman's single-factor test, Pearson correlation, and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. Results: Among Chinese adolescents, body pain and physical fatigue mutually predict each other over a one-year interval, and physical fatigue and mental fatigue also exhibit a bidirectional predictive relationship over time, with all effects reaching a medium level. However, the mutual predictions between body pain and mental fatigue over the one-year interval were not significant. Additionally, gender had significant effects on body pain, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue. Conclusion: In Chinese adolescents, body pain and physical fatigue predict each other over a one-year period, and so do physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Health interventions targeting adolescents should address both body pain and physical and mental fatigue simultaneously, with particular emphasis on female adolescents.
