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
As the number of Chinese students studying in South Korea continues to increase, understanding factors associated with their subjective wellbeing (SWB) has become increasingly important. Physical exercise is widely recognized as beneficial for mental health; however, its underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory and resilience theory, this study examines the association between physical exercise and SWB, as well as the mediating roles of exercise-related psychological needs satisfaction and psychological resilience. A total of 435 Chinese students from six universities in South Korea participated in the study. Data were collected using the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNS-EX), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and International Wellbeing Scale (IWB). Correlation analysis and chain mediation analysis were conducted using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS macro. Results showed that physical exercise was positively associated with SWB (
