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

Physical activity is associated with psychological well-being in later life, yet the interpersonal and affective pathways underlying this relationship remain unclear. Using data from the 2020 Korean National Survey of Older Persons, this study examined associations among physical activity, social contact, positive affect, and evaluative psychological well-being. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted using AMOS 26.0, with indirect effects evaluated through bias-corrected bootstrapping with 5000 resamples. Physical activity was positively associated with both social contact and positive affect, which were, in turn, positively associated with psychological well-being. The direct association between physical activity and psychological well-being was not statistically significant (β = 0.019,
