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: Physical activity avoidance among college students is a public health issue related to their health and well-being. Factors such as weight stigma, body image, and psychological resilience are associated with physical activity avoidance behaviors and may interact in complex ways. Purpose: With an emphasis on the mediating roles of body image and psychological resilience, this study, which is based on stress-coping theory, attempts to investigate the relationship between weight stigma and college students' physical activity avoidance. Methods: A random sampling approach collected 576 valid responses from various universities (47.40% male, 52.60% female). The Weight Self-Stigma Scale, Body Image State Scale, Connor-Davidson Psychological Resilience Scale, and Physical Activity Avoidance Tendency Scale were used for measurement. Data were analyzed using the chain mediation model (Model 6) in PROCESS 4.0 within SPSS 26.0. Results: Physical activity avoidance was positively correlated with weight stigma ( Conclusion: Weight stigma relates to physical activity avoidance among college students, mediated by body image and resilience. The results identify cognitive and emotional pathways associated with social stressors and health behaviors among college students, offering a theoretical basis and intervention insights for promoting good health and well-being within university populations.
