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
Objective: This study investigates the dual chain mediating roles of peer support and professional identity formation in the relationship between physical exercise and mental health among medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 420 medical students in China, using structural equation modeling (SEM) to test hypothesized pathways. Results: Exercise frequency demonstrated a significant direct association with better mental health (β = 0.28, Limitations: The cross-sectional design precludes causal inference, and the cultural and professional specificity of the sample may affect generalizability. Conclusion: These findings highlight the complex psychosocial mechanisms through which exercise is associated with enhanced mental health in future physicians, with implications for targeted intervention design.
