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
purposesThis study aims to examine the relationships among mindfulness, future time perspective, self-efficacy, and athlete burnout in adolescent athletes, exploring the internal mechanisms influencing athlete burnout. It provides insights for coaches and young athletes to reduce burnout and foster healthy, confident, and optimistic lifestyles.
methodsThe study targeted adolescent soccer players in Chongqing, China, employing stratified random sampling for participant selection and utilizing SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 23.0 for data analysis.
results1) Mindfulness showed a significant positive correlation with future time perspective and self-efficacy, and a significant negative correlation with athlete burnout. Future time perspective was positively correlated with self-efficacy and negatively with athlete burnout, as was self-efficacy itself; 2) Mindfulness had a direct effect (ES = -0.342) on athlete burnout. Future time perspective (ES = -0.152) and self-efficacy (ES = -0.060) each played significant mediating roles between mindfulness and athlete burnout, with the chain mediating effect of future time perspective and self-efficacy also being significant (ES = -0.051).
conclusionMindfulness can influence adolescent athlete burnout directly as well as indirectly through the mediating effect of future time perspective and self-efficacy, and the chain mediating effect of these factors. Coaches should therefore focus on developing mindfulness in young athletes and also consider the impact of future time perspective and self-efficacy on burnout.
