Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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: With the ongoing deepening of population aging in China, the psychological well-being of older adults people has become an important indicator for measuring social health development. Physical activity, as an interventionable health behavior, has a complex relationship with psychological well-being. However, the dynamic interaction mechanisms between the two have not been systematically revealed. Methods: This study employed a longitudinal design, tracking 967 older adults individuals from Guiyang and Duyun in Guizhou Province and Nanchang in Jiangxi Province between February and April 2024 (T1) and February and April 2025 (T2). Using cross-lagged panel network analysis (CLPN), which integrates both cross-sectional and longitudinal network models, we examined the temporal predictive relationships between physical activity and the multidimensional aspects of psychological well-being. Results: (1) The network connection density between physical activity and psychological well-being increased from 56.84% at T1 to 60.00% at T2, indicating a continuous enhancement of system associations; (2) The cross-sectional network revealed that the core association shifted from "personal growth-openness" ( Conclusion: Physical activity and psychological well-being in older adults individuals constitute a dynamic, bidirectional promoting system, with the path of influence evolving in stages from social support to personal growth. The findings provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for developing staged and precise health promotion programs for the older adults.
