Digital health literacy and sports participation among college students: the role of cognitive flexibility and physical activity self-efficacy.

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: Digital health literacy is increasingly relevant to health behavior among college students, but its relationships with sports participation and associated psychological factors remain incompletely understood. Guided by social cognitive theory and an adaptive cognitive-processing perspective, this study examined a prespecified cross-sectional path model involving digital health literacy, cognitive flexibility, physical activity self-efficacy, and sports participation. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 600 Chinese college students. Participants completed the DHLI 2.0, CFI, PASE, and PARS-3. Pearson correlation analysis, structural equation modeling, and bootstrap estimation of model-specific path-coefficient products using 5,000 resamples were performed with SPSS 26.0 and AMOS. Results: Digital health literacy was positively associated with cognitive flexibility, physical activity self-efficacy, and sports participation (all Conclusion: The observed covariance pattern was consistent with the prespecified cross-sectional path model involving cognitive flexibility and physical activity self-efficacy. However, because all variables were measured at a single time point, the findings do not establish temporal ordering or causal mediation. Longitudinal and experimental studies are needed to examine temporal ordering and causal relationships among these variables.
