The effect of green exercise on mobile phone addiction among university students: a chain mediating role of perceived social support and negative emotions.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlational mechanisms linking green exercise, perceived social support, negative emotions, and mobile phone addiction among university students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 1,000 university students (aged 19.15 ± 1.08 years) were recruited from six universities randomly selected across Anhui, Shandong, and Jiangsu provinces. Participants completed Intentional Nature Exposure Scale (INES), the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Smartphone Addiction Scale for College Students. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and Hayes' PROCESS macro. Reliability and validity analyses, correlation analysis, regression analysis, structural equation modeling, and bias-corrected percentile bootstrap tests were sequentially conducted on the study variables. Results: (1) Green exercise was significantly and negatively associated with mobile phone addiction ( Conclusion: Perceived social support and negative emotions serve as mediators in the relationship between green exercise and mobile phone addiction, with a total indirect effect estimate of -0.240. This study indicates that green exercise is not only directly associated with mobile phone addiction but is also indirectly associated with it through the chain mediating effects of perceived social support and negative emotions.
