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

backgroundThe counseling friendship is defined as a relationship based on affection and mutual trust, wherein individuals share care, interest, and information, such as exchange emotions and concerns, thereby functioning as a social support system. Analyzing counseling friendships among university taekwondo athletes provides essential foundational data for overcoming the challenges they face and enhancing their athletic performance. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between the intensity of counseling friendship networks and exercise time among university taekwondo athletes by using social network analysis (SNA).

methodsThe study subjects were 69 university taekwondo athletes. To analyze the intensity of the counseling friendship network, SNA was employed, focusing on the indices of network distribution and centrality. The counseling friendship assessment was conducted using a structured friendship survey, allowing athletes to list the names of up to three friends from whom they sought advice related to their university and athletic lives. The strength of these friendships was quantified based on the duration of their acquaintance. Additionally, measurement of exercise duration was conducted using a 4-point scale to assess the average daily exercise time, with intervals set for up to 4 hour or more. The analysis aimed to explore both the network distribution index and the centrality index within the context of these counseling friendships.

resultsAs a result, a positive correlation was shown between eigenvector centrality and exercise time, and as the level of eigenvector centrality increases, the exercise time increases.

conclusionsBased on this, to improve exercise time, it is necessary to create a way to support counseling through friendships and establish a program that allows counseling relationships to be formed centering on friends with a high level of centrality.
