Academic self-efficacy and online physical education learning engagement: the chain mediating roles of learning motivation and self-control.

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
Background: Online physical education has become an important mode of instruction in higher education; however, insufficient student engagement remains a critical concern. This study aimed to examine the associations between academic self-efficacy and college students' learning engagement in online physical education, and tested the serial mediating roles of learning motivation and self-control. Methods: A cluster sampling method was used to recruit 898 undergraduate students (502 males and 396 females) from two universities. Academic self-efficacy, learning motivation, self-control, and online physical education engagement were assessed using validated scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and tests of serial mediation. Results: The results indicated that: (1) academic self-efficacy was significantly and positively correlated with learning motivation, self-control, and online physical education learning engagement ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that academic self-efficacy is associated with engagement in online physical education via pathways involving learning motivation and self-control. The results suggest that academic self-efficacy, learning motivation, and self-control are associated with higher levels of engagement in online physical education.
