Building a case for incorporating sport as an indicator in human development index.

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
Purpose: United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution 73/24 on 3rd December 2018, to recognize sport as an enabler of sustainable development. To examine whether sport really plays an enabling role, the medals ranking of countries on the basis of medals obtained (per million population) in Summer Olympics during the five Olympics games over the first two decades of 21st century has been chosen as an indicator of sports achievement of a country and has been compared with their Human Development Index (HDI) ranking during that particular year of Olympics. The aim of this research was to examine the correlation between sports achievement and HDI. Methods: This research uses the Summer Olympic Rank as per medals obtained per million population (for the years 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016) of various countries as the Indicator of their sports achievement and compares them with their HDI Rank during these specific years. Results: The researchers tested the hypothesis that the higher the sports achievement, the higher the HDI of a country and vice-versa. The analysis shows a very high positive correlation between the Olympic medal ranking and the HDI ranking, revealing that the countries with higher sports achievement have higher HDI. Conclusions: Hence, the conclusion is, if a sport is include in HDI as an indicator of the Human Development Index, sport could become an important vehicle for the improvement of HDI, especially in low and middle-income countries where the sports achievement is low and the HDI is also low.
