Effects of an 8-week multicomponent health-sports program on functional efficiency and volunteering attitudes among university students in Saudi Arabia: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report 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: Volunteering and regular physical activity are both independently associated with improved physical and psychological wellbeing; however, their combined effects within structured, theory-driven interventions remain insufficiently explored, particularly in the Saudi university context. Multicomponent exercise programs that integrate functional training with brief educational and behavioral components may provide a novel strategy for simultaneously enhancing physical performance and prosocial motivation. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of an 8-week multicomponent exercise program on functional movement quality, physical fitness, and volunteering motivations among university students in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 70 healthy university students (35 males and 35 females; age: 19.3 ± 1.0 years), randomly allocated to either an experimental group ( Results: No significant baseline differences were observed between the two groups (all Conclusion: An 8-week multicomponent exercise program effectively improves functional movement quality, physical fitness, and volunteering motivations among university students. Integrating functional training with brief educational components appears to enhance both physical and prosocial outcomes, supporting the inclusion of such programs in university physical education and wellness curricula.
