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

backgroundThe power of sports, which plays an important role in bringing modern societies together, in shaping the behavior of individuals cannot be ignored. The role of this power in individuals' consumption behavior is worth examining. The current study examined the mediating role of fan engagement through social networking sites in the relationship between Sports eFangelism and hedonic consumption in sports.

methodsThe participants were football fans in Türkiye (N = 495). The Sport eFangelism Scale, Fan Engagement through Social Networking Sites Scale, and Hedonic Consumption Attitude Scale in Sports were used to collect the data.

resultsThe study results showed that fan engagement through social networking sites has a mediating role in the relationship between Sports eFangelism and hedonic consumption in sports. In addition, hedonic consumption in sports has a significant positive relationship with Sports eFangelism and fan engagement through social networking sites.

conclusionsThis study reveals that Sports eFangelism is positively associated with hedonic consumption in sports, and that fan engagement through social networking sites plays a significant mediating role in this relationship. These findings emphasize the importance of digital fan communities in shaping sports consumption behaviors.
