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

Background: The mental health of children and adolescents has become urgent global concerns, particularly in China, where intense academic competition, societal pressures, and fast-paced lifestyles exacerbate psychological challenges. These factors significantly hinder healthy psychological development, underscoring the need for innovative approaches to address youth subjective wellbeing. This study investigates the mediating roles of resilience and sport commitment in the relationship between social anxiety and life satisfaction. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 948 primary school students (446 females, 502 males) from four major Chinese cities. Participants completed an online survey assessing sport commitment, life satisfaction, resilience (personal and caregiver-related), and social anxiety. Path analysis using a maximum likelihood estimator was conducted to examine the mediating roles of sport commitment, personal resilience, and caregiver resilience in the relationship between social anxiety and life satisfaction. Indirect effects were evaluated using bootstrap sampling with a bias-corrected 95% confidence interval. Results: The findings revealed a satisfactory model fit, χ2(5) = 8.414, Conclusion: This study advances the literature by highlighting the protective roles of resilience and sport commitment in mitigating the impact of social anxiety on life satisfaction. It underscores the importance of fostering resilience at individual, familial, and societal levels and emphasizes the role of educational systems in promoting youth subjective well-being. Practical implications include integrating sport-based activities and resilience-building programs into school curricula, as well as fostering collaboration among parents, educators, and community stakeholders. Future research should explore targeted intervention strategies and their long-term impacts on youth subjective wellbeing.
