Physical activity and alexithymia: chain mediation of sense of coherence and social anxiety-a study of chemistry majors.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Aim: This study aimed to explore the effect of physical activity on alexithymia and to establish a chain mediation model with sense of coherence and social anxiety as mediators. A cross-sectional design was adopted. Methods: A total of 650 chemistry major students from six universities in the eastern coastal region of China were surveyed using the Physical Activity Rating Scale, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Sense of Coherence Scale, and the Social Anxiety Scale. Results: (1) Physical activity was negatively correlated with alexithymia, although the magnitude of this correlation was small ( Conclusion: Physical activity shows a statistically significant but weak negative association with alexithymia among chemistry major students (
