Effect of emotional regulation on performance of shooters during competition: An ecological momentary assessment study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine the effect of emotion regulation on shooting performance in shooting athletes.
methodEcological momentary assessment was used to track and examine the dynamic relationship between pre-competition and in-competition emotions, emotion regulation strategy selection and use, and shooting performance in 57 shooting athletes.
resultsFemale athletes used more regulation strategies than male athletes and had lower mean shooting scores when using disengagement strategies and lower good ten-ring percentages when using engagement strategies compared to male athletes. Elite athletes had a higher percentage of ten-ring scores when using engagement strategies than did first-level athletes, but a lower percentage of ten-ring scores when using disengagement strategies. The use of emotion regulation strategies and situational demands were not strongly related. Athletes had low flexibility in emotion regulation and were better at using disengagement strategies, but disengagement strategies were not beneficial for shooting performance.
conclusionsFirst-level athletes have a higher contextual demand for emotion regulation and tend to use disengagement strategies more frequently to regulate emotions. Elite-level athletes have higher average ring values and ten-ring ratios when using engagement strategies under lower contextual demand and using disengagement strategies under higher contextual demand. Enhancing flexible emotional regulation training that improves situation-strategy fit may be beneficial for enhancing sports performance.
