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.

Abstract
Introduction: Sports have become an indispensable part of daily life, and an increasing range of lifestyle sports, such as frisbee, flag football, and surfskate, are gradually becoming familiar to and popular among the Chinese youth. This study examines the consumption practices of Chinese youth in lifestyle sports through the analytical lens of Social Practice Theory, highlighting their distinctive cultural significance for this age group. Methods: This study utilized semi-structured interviews and participant observation to conduct research in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, China. Results: The findings revealed that participation in these sports serves not only as a form of consumption but also as a way for youth to break the discipline of life, shaping distinctions in taste while building tribalism and social interaction. Discussion: The study further explores the distinctive consumption traits of contemporary Chinese youth and underscore the social value of lifestyle sports. By situating these practices within the framework of Social Practice Theory, the study broadens the scope of sports consumption research and offers nuanced insight into youth behavior and consumption patterns amid China's ongoing social transformation.
