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

backgroundThere is a need for cross-cultural research on the relationship between competitive anxiety, BMI, and sports training frequency in athletes. Especially in a post-COVID-19 world, adverse changes associated with weight gain and increased sedentary lifestyles have been observed. Whether this trend occurs in athletes and how BMI and frequency of sports training affect anxiety levels in Polish and Indian athletes are the subjects of this study. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: One hundred athletes were successfully recruited in India (

resultsThe results showed that there was a significant difference between the anxiety levels of Indian and Polish athletes

conclusionsThe anxiety levels are higher due to higher BMI. These adverse changes in the behavioural area and their effects on physical health also concern young athletes. Further research is necessary to assess the late impact of the pandemic on the lives of athletes as these costs are accompanied by many others localized in the psychological sphere, which are only becoming apparent.
