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

Introduction: This cross-sectional study examined the associations of exercise intensity preference and tolerance with passion and the intention to continue exercising. Objective: A total of 284 fitness center members (140 females, 144 males; M Results: Descriptive results showed that harmonious passion (HP) was consistently higher than obsessive passion (OP) across all profiles, peaking in the moderate-to-vigorous preference group ( Discussion: These findings suggest that individuals who self-select their training intensity may report higher persistence intentions due to positive hedonic responses. We conclude that exercise prescription may benefit from accounting for individual intensity preferences and fostering harmonious passion to support positive exercise intentions.
