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

Deteriorating attention control has become a common problem among contemporary college students caused by digital distractions, academic stress, and insufficient physical activity. As a mind-body exercise integrating mind, breath and movement, Baduanjin can improve cognitive function, yet the dose-dependent effects of online Baduanjin remain underexplored. This randomized controlled trial recruited 30 students (baseline ACS ≤50, <2 weekly exercise sessions with <5 h of weekly total activity) into high-frequency (7 sessions per week), low-frequency (3 sessions per week), and control groups for an 8-week intervention. Concentration was assessed via ACS scores, task initiation speed, and sustained attention duration. Both intervention groups outperformed controls on ACS; improvements in sustained-attention duration and initiation speed were markedly greater in the high-frequency group, whereas the low-frequency group showed significant gains only in initiation speed. High-frequency online Baduanjin effectively enhances college students' concentration and offers empirical support for integrating it into university extracurricular physical-education programs.
