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
Introduction: This study aimed to examine whether parental involvement in youth sports influences Chinese adolescents' school adjustment and to investigate the mediating roles of extracurricular sports participation and sports interest in this relationship. Methods: Using longitudinal data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) for the 2013-2014 academic year, which included 12,257 junior high school students from China, this study employed a multiple mediation model to analyze the effects of parental involvement in youth sports, sports interest, and extracurricular sports participation on adolescents' school adjustment. Results: The findings revealed that: (1) Parental involvement in youth sports had a significant and independent positive effect on adolescents' school adjustment. (2) Parental involvement in youth sports could also enhance school adjustment by increasing sports interest and promoting extracurricular sports participation, through three distinct pathways: parental involvement in youth sports → extracurricular sports participation → school adjustment; sports interest → extracurricular sports participation → school adjustment; parental involvement in youth sports → sports interest → extracurricular sports participation → school adjustment. These results elucidate the mechanisms through which parental involvement in youth sports, sports interest, and extracurricular sports participation collectively contribute to adolescents' school adjustment, providing empirical evidence for strategies aimed at improving school adaptation. Discussion: The study demonstrates that parental involvement in youth sports can directly enhance adolescents' school adjustment, as well as indirectly influence it through sports interest or extracurricular sports participation individually, or via a multiple mediation of sports interest followed by extracurricular sports participation.
