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
Objective: In the context of population aging, inhibitory control is important for maintaining independent living, behavioral regulation, and healthy aging in later life. Although physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep, and general self-efficacy have all been linked to cognitive health, direct evidence remains limited regarding whether older adults' alignment with integrated 24-h movement behavior recommendations relates to inhibitory control and whether psychological resources contribute to this relationship. From a 24-h movement behavior perspective, the present study evaluated the link between the number of recommendations met and Stroop-indexed inhibitory control in older adults and tested the mediating role of general self-efficacy. Methods: This cross-sectional survey analyzed data from 210 older adults in four Wuhan communities. Accelerometer recordings were used to capture 24-h movement behaviors, and recommendation status was determined based on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep criteria. Participants completed the validated Chinese version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and inhibitory control was measured using an E-Prime-based Stroop task. A structural equation model estimated the direct and indirect pathways, with relevant covariates controlled. Results: Among the 210 older adults, a greater number of recommendations met corresponded to higher general self-efficacy ( Conclusion: Meeting more 24-h movement behavior recommendations was associated with better inhibitory control in older adults. General self-efficacy showed a small but statistically significant indirect association in this relationship, suggesting that it may partly account for the link between guideline adherence and inhibitory control, but cannot fully explain it. From a health promotion perspective, these findings highlight the potential value of integrated strategies that promote 24-h movement behavior guideline adherence and consider self-efficacy-related psychological resources to support cognitive and psychological health in later life.
