Enhancing psychological skills and well-being in sport through an app-based blended intervention: a randomized controlled pilot study.
Trial report in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06212986 (Enhancing Psychological Skills and Well-being in Sport Through a Blended Intervention), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
backgroundMental preparation is a fundamental aspect of athletic performance. We present here an experiment aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a blended intervention to promote mindfulness and self-confidence and a reduction of anxiety among professional athletes.
methodsThe intervention, delivered through an application for smartphones, included eight weekly modules with variable and progressive training and relaxation exercises. Meetings with the athletes took place every 2 weeks. The study involved 41 tennis players who were randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group. Data were analyzed via repeated measures ANOVA.
resultsThe results showed a significant change in self-confidence, arousal control, anxiety, awareness and refocusing in the experimental group and no significant change in the control group.
conclusionThe blended intervention showed good results in only 8 weeks, thus again emphasizing the effectiveness of breathing and relaxation techniques opening the door for future studies and interventions that can use new technologies to promote athletes' well-being and performance.
