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
Background: Adolescence is a crucial time for engagement in physical activity (PA) as it linked to higher life satisfaction (LS) and future health. However, adolescents' LS within the specific sport disciplines remains unexplored. The objective of this paper was to (1) describe LS, training behaviors and pain across 18 sports disciplines among Norwegian adolescents stratified by gender and (2) compare LS between the different sports disciplines and sports categories with nationwide data. Methods: Cross-sectional data was derived from the Norwegian Youngdata Survey, collected with nationwide representation, aggregated from 2021 to 2023. A total of 26.171 adolescents aged 16 to 19 years were included, derived from 18 sports disciplines (e.g., football, handball, etc.) and grouped into categories (e.g., endurance sports, team sports, etc.). Comparisons to national data (N = 109.469) were conducted using summary data t-tests. Results: Adolescents participating in cross-country (XC) skiing revealed the highest school satisfaction, highest PA levels, lowest pain and lowest painkiller usage across sport disciplines. Fifteen out of 18 sports disciplines revealed higher LS compared to national data, with substantial association in motorsport, XC skiing, football and handball (all, Conclusion: Participation in sports, regardless of category, is associated with increased LS of Norwegian adolescents, with strongest associations unveiled among girls. With this research, we add further insights into adolescents' life satisfaction, training, pain and painkiller use, providing novel sport-specific knowledge of both healthy and risk-behavior.
