The impact of physical exercise on academic satisfaction among middle-school students: the mediating roles of social support and depression.

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
Introduction: The association between physical exercise and academic satisfaction is a crucial topic in recent research. However, existing literature has paid insufficient attention to exploring the influence of physical exercise on academic satisfaction, particularly regarding the mediating role of social support and depression. Methods: A sample of 564 Chinese middle-school students was randomly recruited from five high schools in Shaoxing City. We proposed a hypothesized model to examine the relationship between physical exercise, academic satisfaction, social support, and depression. Results: Results from PROCESS v4.1 for SPSS revealed that physical exercise had a significant and positive impact on both academic satisfaction and social support; Social support showed a positive association with academic satisfaction; Physical exercise, social support, and academic satisfaction were significantly negatively correlated with depression; Furthermore, social support and depression partially mediated the relationship between physical exercise and academic satisfaction. Discussion: These findings provide empirical evidence into elucidating how physical exercise promotes high school students' academic satisfaction. The limitations and future directions of these findings are discussed.
