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
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine how feedback from the coach influences football players' experiences of well-being, mastery, pleasure, satisfaction, development, being seen by the coach, and motivation in two different groups. Methods: The study used an intervention with a crossover experimental approach, where 95 players aged 14-18 that participated in sports clubs and specialized football classes in a town in Mid-Norway, participated in the same organized training session with the same coach in every session-one without feedback and one with feedback from the coach, answering a questionnaire after each training session. The questionnaire was developed with a total of seven questions with high face validity for each of the variables. The study was approved by the Norwegian data protection agency, and a written informed consent for participation in this study was provided by the participants' legal guardians/next of kin. Wilcoxon nonparametric tests were used to examine differences between the session without and the session with feedback among players in the two groups for each variable. Results: Analyzing all players, the results showed that when feedback was given, it led to a significant increase in mastery, the experience of being seen by the coach, and motivation, compared to the same training session when they did not receive feedback. Furthermore, analyzing only players who participated in sports studies with a specialization in football, the results showed that giving feedback led to a significant increase in well-being, pleasure, satisfaction, and development. Finally, analyzing only players who participated in sports teams and did not specialize in football in sports programs showed that when feedback was given, it led to a significant increase in, the experience of being noticed by the coach, and motivation-but a decrease in development, compared to the same training session when they did not receive feedback. Discussion: This study introduces a unique and novel intervention approach focusing on the effects of feedback. The findings suggest that football coaches' feedback has a positive outcome for several psychological factors of young players. The findings of the study highlight the importance of football coaches' feedback.
