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: Psychological qualities issues among adolescents are increasingly prominent, and effective interventions are urgently needed. Campus Football Activities has shown potential in improving Psychological qualities, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the impact of campus football activities on adolescents' psychological qualities, along with the underlying mechanisms and pathways involved, and further examines the effects of an 8-week campus football program on adolescents' psychological qualities. Methods: First, an 8-week campus football intervention was conducted on 68 Chinese adolescents aged 16-18 years [mean age 16.865 years (standard deviation 0.636)] to explore the impact of campus football on adolescents' psychological qualities. Then, a cross-sectional survey was carried out on 431 adolescents from Chinese high school. The mean age of study participants varied from 16 to 18 years [mean 16.865 (0.816)]. The Sport Behavior Scale, Sport Cognitive Level Psychological Assessment Scale, Trait Sport Confidence Scale, and Adolescent Willpower Quality Scale were used to construct a structural equation model. This model revealed the effects of campus football on promoting adolescents' sports behavior, sports cognitive levels, confidence in sports, and willpower qualities, as well as their internal relationships. Results: Significant differences in campus football behaviors, sports cognitive levels, sports self-confidence, and willpower qualities existed among adolescents following campus football activities. Furthermore, the direct effect of campus football behaviors on willpower qualities was significant. The mediating and chain mediating effects of sports cognitive levels, sports self-confidence, and the combination of sports cognitive levels and sports self-confidence between campus football behaviors and willpower qualities were also significant. Conclusion: Campus football activities can enhance adolescents' psychological qualities across: sports behaviors, sports cognitive levels, sports self-confidence, and willpower qualities. The internal action pathway is that campus football behaviors directly influence willpower qualities, and also improve willpower qualities through the respective mediating effects and joint chain mediating effect of sports cognitive levels and sports self-confidence.
