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: This study aims to explore how rural public sports facilities and their instructors influence the participation of rural residents in sports activities under the background of China's rural revitalization strategy. The goal is to provide strategies for the effective use and management of rural sports facilities, thereby encouraging rural residents to actively participate in sports activities, improve their quality of life, and support comprehensive rural revitalization. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used, employing a stratified sampling method to distribute questionnaires to 5,000 residents in the eastern, central, western, and southern regions of China. Data analysis was conducted using R4.1.3 software. The main research indicators included the funding sources of sports facilities and the composition of social sports instructors, while residents' basic characteristics were considered secondary indicators for correlation, regression, and cross-analysis. Results: Analysis of 3,956 valid questionnaires revealed that increasing age led to a decrease in the frequency of sports activities (-0.098), while higher education levels increased activity frequency (0.097). Facilities provided by county sports bureaus significantly promoted participation in sports activities ( Conclusion: Age and education level are negatively correlated with sports activity participation, while the source of public sports facilities, especially those provided by county sports bureaus, the sports lottery fund, and village committees, significantly enhance participation. The presence of social sports instructors significantly increases the time and frequency of residents' sports activities. Policymakers need to focus on the construction and management of public sports facilities, develop and utilize diversified funding sources, and enhance the role of sports facility instructors. By providing professional guidance and organizing diverse sports activities, rural residents' enthusiasm for participation can be effectively stimulated.
