Linking physical environment in physical education classes and adolescents' life skills: evidence from Chinese secondary schools.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Adolescents' life skills(LS) development has become increasingly important in China's ongoing education reform, but the associations between the physical environment of physical education classes (PEOPEC), physical education class learning engagement (PECLE), and LS remain insufficiently understood. Grounded in ecosystem theory and achievement goal theory, a mediation model of "PEOPEC-PECLE-LS" was constructed and validated to explore the pathways through which the implicit educational mechanisms of physical education curricula operate. Methods: Using questionnaire data from 504 secondary school students in the central and eastern regions of Hubei Province, this study tested the proposed model using Pearson correlation analysis and bootstrap-based mediation analysis. Results: indicated that students' perceived PEOPEC was significantly and positively associated with all eight dimensions of LS, including teamwork and goal setting. Furthermore, PECLE partially statistically mediated these associations. Discussion: It is recommended that efforts begin with optimizing PEOPEC by systematically improving teaching spaces, equipment allocation, and situational design quality. Such measures may be relevant for supporting students' learning engagement and realizing the educational value of PE curricula.
