Factors determining implicit attitudes toward sports and exercise: desirability and enjoyment.
Article in Discover psychology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Previous studies have found that implicit attitudes, in addition to explicit attitudes, toward sports and exercise can help predict health-related behaviors. This study aimed to explore the factors that determine implicit attitudes toward sports and exercise. Using an online experiment, we investigated two types of implicit attitudes toward sports and exercise: desirability and enjoyment. Implicit attitudes toward sports and exercise were measured using two different Implicit Association Test (IAT) for desirability and for joy. We examined the degree to which "sports and exercise" were perceived to be more strongly associated with positive words than "sedentary behaviors." We hypothesized that past experiences with sports and exercise affect implicit attitudes, and that desirability and enjoyment (positive implicit attitudes) might differ qualitatively. Participants included 318 students (230 male and 88 female,
