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

Chinese international students studying in South Korea may experience academic, sociocultural, and psychological challenges that may undermine well-being and successful adaptation to university life. Physical literacy, which encompasses motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding related to physical activity, may represent a behavioral and psychosocial resource that supports adaptive functioning. This cross-sectional study examined the relationships among perceived physical literacy, well-being, and college adjustment among 288 Chinese international students in South Korea who participated in basketball at least once per week. Physical literacy was assessed using the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument, well-being using the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, and college adjustment using the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire-25. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted, and the mediating effect of well-being was tested using bootstrapping with 2000 resamples. Physical literacy was positively associated with well-being (β = 0.305,
