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

Purpose: This study examined how perfectionism (personal standards, concern over mistakes) influences college students' psychological adaptation through physical education (PE) satisfaction, and the moderating roles of expressive suppression and gender. Methods: Chinese college students ( Results: PE satisfaction significantly mediated effects of personal standards (vitality: beta = 0.375; well-being: beta = 0.362; both Conclusion: PE satisfaction serves as a gain system that amplifies adaptive traits yet cannot buffer inherent burnout tendencies. Expressive suppression effects vary across personality dimensions, challenging the dichotomous view of emotion regulation strategies. Gender differences reflect social role expectations rather than essential psychological disparities.
