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

Sports associations and companies share a common goal of identifying and selecting top talent, prompting a growing interest in refining their selection processes. Recent decades have witnessed increased attention to predictive valid constructs (e.g., motivation) and predictive assessment methods (e.g., questionnaires). Leveraging an extensive history and empirical evidence from personnel selection research in business, a cross-contextual knowledge transfer could offer potential benefits for both sports and business. To examine the utilization of information between sports and the business context, this study explores the connection between these contexts. Analyzing 20,492 articles from SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, we followed PRISMA guidelines and conducted a citation network analysis ( Systematic review registration: https://aspredicted.org/366x-7cfd.pdf.
