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
The present study examines the relationship between social anxiety levels and effective communication skills in adolescents engaged in sports. The correlational study was conducted with 352 voluntary adolescents aged 15 to 18 enrolled in a sports high school. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A), and the Communication Skills Scale (CSS). A comprehensive data analysis approach encompassing descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey post hoc test, Pearson correlation analysis, and point-biserial correlation analysis was employed to systematically examine the data. The ensuing results are as follow: the study yielded several significant findings First, female adolescents exhibited higher levels of social anxiety compared to their male counterparts. Secondly, a significant, positive, and strong relationship was identified between adolescents' fear of negative evaluation, social avoidance and distress in general situations, social avoidance and distress in new situations, and overall social anxiety levels. Thirdly, the study found that adolescents' social anxiety levels were found to be a significant predictor of their communication skills, indicating that as social anxiety levels increased, communication skills decreased. These findings collectively suggest that social anxiety exerts a substantial negative impact on adolescents' communication skills.
