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

Objective: To examine whether participation in orienteering is associated with adolescents' depression and anxiety, and to examine whether the association between orienteering participation and depressive or anxiety symptoms was statistically linked to resilience, and whether ADHD symptoms moderated this indirect association. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among adolescents aged 10-19 years in Sichuan, China ( Results: Orienteering participation was positively associated with resilience, and resilience was negatively associated with depression and anxiety. The direct associations between orienteering participation and depression/anxiety were not significant; however, resilience showed significant indirect associations linking orienteering participation to lower depression and anxiety. ADHD symptoms moderated the second stage of the mediation, such that the protective indirect association via resilience was stronger at higher levels of ADHD symptoms (index of moderated mediation = -0.02 for both outcomes). Machine-learning models yielded moderate predictive performance (holdout Conclusion: Orienteering participation was associated with fewer internalizing problems, and this association was statistically reflected in higher resilience. This indirect association was more pronounced among adolescents with elevated ADHD symptoms.
