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: The present study investigates the economic impact of the 2022 Italian National University Sport Championship (CNU), held in Cassino, Italy, with particular emphasis on the spending patterns of athletes, technical staff, and spectators. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was employed during the event to collect data from 963 participants, separated into two different groups: athletes/staff (Group A), and spectators (Group B). The survey addressed participants' spending patterns, satisfaction levels, and event experiences. The DEC (Direct Economic Impact Calculator) tool was employed to estimate the total economic contributions, while further analyses explored the differences in spending according to participant satisfaction and attributes. Results: The total direct economic impact of the event was estimated at €1,323,572, including €50,000 in organizer expenditures, which contributed to the support of 22 local jobs. Non-local spectators had a notable economic impact, with an average daily expenditure of €223, compared to €124 by athletes and staff. Satisfaction with public transport, the possibility to purchase local products, and positive interactions with the staff working at the event are among the key factors positively influencing spending. In contrast, engagement in ceremonial activities and feelings of nervousness were associated with lower spending levels. Discussion: These results underscore the significant economic influence of medium-sized sports events on local economies, highlighting the importance of improving visitor experiences to maximize economic benefits. The findings offer significant implications for event organizers and policymakers who seek to enhance the economic and social outcomes associated with these events.
