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
Sport Participation Attitudes are important factors influencing individuals' physical health. From the perspective of the social-ecological model, this study explores the relationship and mechanisms between Health Communication through Sports Social Media(HCTSSM) and adolescents' sport participation attitudes through the construction and testing of a moderated mediation model. A cross-sectional design was employed to examine the mediating roles of social support and self-efficacy in the impact of Health Communication through Sports Social Media on Sport Participation Attitudes. Data were collected from 920 adolescents using the Health Communication through Sports Social Media, Sports Attitude, Social Support, and the Self-Efficacy Scales. The results showed that: (1) HCTSSM has a significant positive impact on adolescents' Attitudes Towards Sports; (2) self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationship between HCTSSM and adolescents' Attitudes Towards Sports; (3) social support moderates the latter half of the mediation process, where HCTSSM influences adolescents' participation attitudes through self-efficacy. Based on the findings, it is recommended that sports social media platforms prioritize enhancing users' social support and self-efficacy. Specifically, the selection and design of health communication content should focus on experience-sharing and health belief-oriented materials. This approach is likely to be more effective in fostering positive attitudes toward sports participation.
