The impact of Mood on Sports Flow State in football players: a chain mediating model of Psychological Resilience and Achievement Motivation in Competition.
Article 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 8 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
Objectives: To explore the relationship between Mood and Sport Flow State in football players, and to clarify the mediating roles of Psychological Resilience and Achievement Motivation in Competition. Methods: Convenience sampling was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 388 football players. Use Profile of Mood State (POMS), Smooth Experience Scale-2 (SES-2), Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS) to evaluate the Mood, Sport Flow State, Psychological Resilience, and Achievement Motivation in Competition of football players. Pearson correlation analysis and mediation analysis were used to investigate the relationship between the four variables of Mood, Sport Flow State, Psychological Resilience, and Achievement Motivation in Competition among football players. Results: Football players' mood has a negative impact on Sport Flow State, Psychological Resilience, and Achievement Motivation In Competition, while Sport Flow State, Psychological Resilience, and Achievement Motivation In Competition have a mutually positive impact. Psychological Resilience has a positive impact on Achievement Motivation in Competition. The mediating effect of Psychological Resilience (POMS → CD-RISC → SES-2) accounts for 26.9% of the total effect (r = -0.014, 95% CI -0.020∼-0.009), Achievement Motivation in Competition (POMS → AMS → SES-2) accounts for 17.3% of the total effect (r = 0.009,95% CI -0.013∼-0.005), and the chain mediating effect of Psychological Resilience and Achievement Motivation in Competition (POMS → CD-RISC → AMS → SES-2) accounts for 32.6% of the total effect (r = -0.017, 95% CI -0.022∼-0.013). Conclusion: Football player Mood has a significant negative impact on Sport Flow State, but its actual predictive ability for Sport Flow State is very small. Psychological Resilience and Achievement Motivation in Competition play a chain mediating role in this relationship.
