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
Disasters and humanitarian crises affect both individual mental health and broader psychosocial functioning, but these outcome domains are not interchangeable. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined structured sport-, exercise-, play-, yoga/body-awareness-, physical-education-, and sport-for-protection-based interventions within a mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) framework. Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar were searched for studies published from January 1, 2000, through November 1, 2025. Eligible populations were affected by disasters, conflict, forced displacement, refugeehood, humanitarian crises, or crisis-related restrictions. Outcome-specific quantitative analyses were conducted for comparable mental health symptoms, whereas heterogeneous psychosocial and community constructs were synthesized narratively and integrated through a joint interpretation matrix. Twenty-eight studies or programme evaluations were included; 20 contributed data to at least one quantitative analysis, with fewer studies contributing to each controlled outcome model. Random-effects models indicated favorable small-to-moderate average effects for PTSD symptoms (Hedges'
