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

This study examined the associations among physical exercise, sensory processing sensitivity, depression-happiness, relational energy, and flourishing in vocational college students, with a focus on the serial mediating roles of sensory processing sensitivity and depression-happiness and the moderating role of relational energy. Using a multistage sampling design, 11,388 vocational college students from mainland China were surveyed. Physical exercise did not show a significant direct positive association with flourishing, but did so indirectly through sensory processing sensitivity and depression-happiness. Relational energy significantly moderated the association between depression, happiness, and flourishing. After controlling for gender, grade, and BMI, physical exercise showed a significant negative direct association with flourishing. These findings suggest that the benefits of physical exercise for flourishing operate primarily through personality, emotional, and interpersonal pathways.
