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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the predictive effect of coach-athlete relationship (CAR) quality on training engagement (TE) and shooting skill improvement (SI) among adolescent basketball players, as well as the potential mediating role of TE in this relationship. Methods: A total of 128 basketball players aged 16-18 years (including 83 males) were recruited. The Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) was used to assess CAR, the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) measured TE, and a 100-shot stationary shooting test was used to evaluate SI at both pre- and post-season. Statistical analyses included Pearson correlation, hierarchical regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM). The significance level was set at Results: CAR was significantly positively correlated with both TE (r = 0.52, Conclusion: A high-quality coach-athlete relationship not only directly enhances training engagement in adolescent basketball players but also indirectly facilitates shooting skill improvement over the course of a season by increasing training engagement.
