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
Understanding the dynamics of leisure experiences is essential for promoting well-being among university students, particularly those studying sports sciences. The study aimed to explore the predictive relationship between perceived freedom in leisure and leisure satisfaction among sports sciences students. It also examined whether perceived freedom and satisfaction differ significantly by gender, leisure participation types, and activity setting (indoor vs. outdoor). To this end, a total of 3192 students from various universities participated in the research. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation, linear regression, three-factor ANOVA, one-way MANOVA, and (3 × 2) MANOVA. As a result, the analysis revealed significant positive relationships between perceived freedom and leisure satisfaction. Perceived freedom strongly predicted leisure satisfaction, accounting for 42% of the variance. Gender-based comparisons showed that female students reported significantly higher levels of both perceived freedom and satisfaction. Students who engaged in active, group-based leisure activities, especially in outdoor settings, experienced the highest levels of freedom and satisfaction. Overall, a ctivities that are active, social, and conducted outdoors enhance students' perceived freedom and increase their leisure satisfaction.
