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
backgroundThis study investigates the relationship and underlying mechanisms among mindfulness, self-efficacy in sports training, and training competition satisfaction among China University Basketball Association (CUBA) athletes through cross-sectional surveys and longitudinal experimental research. These findings provide valuable insights into the healthy development of college athletes.
methodsStudy 1 was a cross-sectional study. A total of 684 CUBA athletes were surveyed using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the College Student Physical Education Learning Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Training Competition Satisfaction Scale. Correlation and regression analyses were performed on the variables, and the bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect. Study 2 adopted a 2 (experimental conditions) × 2 (time points) mixed experimental design, randomly assigning 32 CUBA athletes to either a mindfulness training group or a control group (16 people in each group). The experimental group underwent an eight-week mindfulness intervention. In contrast, the control group simultaneously received standard technical training and underwent psychological assessments before and after the training.
resultsIn Study 1, the mindfulness level of CUBA athletes had a significant positive predictive effect on their self-efficacy in sports training and training competition satisfaction (p < .001). The self-efficacy in sports training partially mediated the relationship between mindfulness and training competition satisfaction, with an indirect effect value of 0.210, accounting for 45.3% of the total effect. In Study 2, compared to the control group, the mindfulness level, self-efficacy in sports training, and training competition satisfaction of athletes in the mindfulness training group significantly improved over time (p < .001).
conclusionsMindfulness can have a direct effect on training competition satisfaction, as well as an indirect effect through self-efficacy in sports training, making it an effective intervention method to enhance motor psychological skills.
