Exploring the relationship between social capital and hedonic well-being in sport and physical activity contexts: a scoping review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This scoping review aimed to summarize the conceptualization and measurements of both social capital and hedonic well-being and to explore the links between social capital and hedonic well-being within sports and physical activity contexts. Articles were sourced from five databases, including PubMed, Scopus (Elsevier), SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Initially, 475 papers were identified. After applying the screening process, 24 papers were included. The majority (70.8%) indicated a positive relationship between social capital and hedonic well-being, while others found no direct connection (16.7%) or presented mixed results (12.5%). The review underscored a consensus on defining and measuring hedonic well-being, but it also revealed the need for a more refined conceptualization and universally accepted measurement of social capital within sports research. The findings highlighted the positive associations between social capital and hedonic well-being in sport and physical activity contexts, suggesting future research directions including an examination of potential downsides.
