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

backgroundPhysical activity has numerous physical and psychological benefits for university students. The present study aims to analyze the influence of physical activity intensity on the variables of physical pain and hyper mental activity.

methodA comparative, descriptive and exploratory design was used in this study. The sample comprises 1900 physical therapy undergraduate students, who were recruited from several universities in the south of Spain using convenience sampling. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, Chronic Pain Assessment Questionnaire and Mental Hyperactivity Questionnaire were used. A structural equation model has been developed. The proposed model analyzes the relationship between physical activity, bodily pain and hyper mental activity.

resultsThe model shows satisfactory fit across the different indices (Chi

conclusionsPhysical activity has a very weak effect on mental hyperactivity, regardless of its intensity. On the other hand, mental hyperactivity significantly influences body pain. No significant effect was found between physical activity and body pain. In terms of applicability, strategies should be designed that integrate physical activity and emotional regulation strategies to prevent pain and reduce mental hyperactivity.
