The mediation of resilience between physical activity, parenting style, and social anxiety among Chinese adolescents: evidence from a structural equation model.

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: Adolescent social anxiety is a common mental health problem. Although physical activity and parenting style have both been linked to anxiety, their joint associations with social anxiety and the mediating role of resilience remain unclear. This study tested an integrated model of physical activity, parenting style, resilience, and social anxiety in Chinese adolescents. Methods: A total of 1,094 adolescents completed measures of physical activity, parenting style, resilience, and social anxiety. Structural equation modelling was used to examine direct and indirect associations among these variables, with resilience specified as a mediator. Results: Physical activity and parental emotional warmth were positively associated with resilience and negatively associated with social anxiety. Parental rejection was positively associated with social anxiety but was not significantly related to resilience. Parental overprotection was positively associated with resilience, whereas its direct association with social anxiety was not significant. Resilience was negatively associated with social anxiety and significantly mediated the effects of physical activity, emotional warmth, and overprotection on social anxiety. Conclusion: Adolescent social anxiety appears to be shaped by both behavioural and family factors, with resilience serving as an important psychological mechanism. These findings support integrated interventions that combine physical activity promotion, supportive parenting, and resilience enhancement.
