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
Physical exercise is widely recognized as a key contributor to subjective well-being, yet the pathways underlying exercise-related happiness have largely been framed within individualistic psychological models emphasizing confidence and self-mastery. In collectivist societies, however, physical exercise is frequently embedded in shared social contexts, suggesting that its well-being benefits may rely more heavily on social relational resources. Building on this perspective, this study introduces "collective resonance" as a preliminary interpretative framework to understand the social resources linked to shared physical activity, and examines the respective roles of social relationships and confidence in explaining the association between physical exercise and happiness among Chinese adults. Using data from a nationally representative sample (
