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

On August 29 and 30, 2024, eight researchers and six expert practitioners within wellbeing and youth sport were gathered in Copenhagen to reach evidence-based consensus on how to promote wellbeing in and through youth sports. The consensus process integrated international research-based knowledge with practice-based knowledge into statements about key factors influencing wellbeing in youth sport. Based on this knowledge, practice and policy directed statements on how wellbeing in and through sport can be promoted were formulated. The consensus process and the resulting statements were based on a system approach to wellbeing in youth sport and how it can be promoted. Four system levels (the individual, interpersonal, community, and policy levels) were addressed in answering the following questions: (1) What characterizes wellbeing in sport for children and adolescents? (2) What characterizes sport environments that promote children and adolescents' wellbeing? (3) Which factors are important to consider in efforts to develop wellbeing promoting youth sport environments? (4) How can wellbeing in youth sport be promoted? In total, 19 consensus statement sentences were formulated on how young sports participants (3), parents/caretakers (5), coaches and leaders/managers (5), local sport communities (3) and sports federations (3) can promote wellbeing in youth sport.
