Mechanism of continuous exercise intention after sport injury: a chained HBM-TPB mediation model.
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: Sports injuries are prevalent among university students, yet psychological mechanisms of post-injury exercise maintenance intention need further study. Integrating the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study examined how risk perceptions and cognitive factors were associated with continuous exercise intention, focusing on the pivotal role of control beliefs regarding exercise rehabilitation in translating risk perception into volition. Methods: A cross-sectional survey sampled 421 university students who had a sports injury in the past 12 months. We integrated HBM and TPB, reconstructing perceived behavioral control and self-efficacy into control beliefs regarding exercise rehabilitation. SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 were used for SEM and bootstrapping mediation tests. Results: The model fit well ( Conclusion: Continuous post-injury exercise intention was associated with a stepwise path of attitude → control beliefs → intention. Perceived health benefits were associated with intention through this chain, while the pattern for perceived severity was consistent with fear-avoidance theory. Control beliefs connected internal values and social norms. The findings suggest that interventions may benefit from shifting from risk intimidation to benefit empowerment, and from reconstructing rehabilitation control through social support networks-though these candidate directions await experimental validation.
