1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Academic burnout among adolescent students has been a hot topic of concern among scholars. With the increase of academic pressure, the problem of academic burnout among adolescent students has become more and more prominent, which has a profound impact on their psychological health and academic performance. However, the relationship between sports participation and academic burnout among Chinese adolescent students and its underlying mechanisms remain to be investigated. Methods: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between sports participation and academic burnout among adolescent students and to verify the mediating role of social support between the two. In addition, this study used a non-probability convenience sampling technique to investigate the current status of sports participation, academic burnout, and social support among 1,267 Chinese adolescent students. Results: The results showed that male students scored slightly higher than female students in the sports participation and academic burnout tests, and slightly lower than female students in all social support tests. There was a negative correlation between sports participation and academic burnout among adolescent students ( Conclusion: The results of this study provide valuable insight into educational interventions to mitigate and prevent academic burnout among adolescent students.
