The effect of peer support on psychological rehabilitation in injured collegiate athletes: the mediating roles of resilience and perceived stress.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Sports injuries are a significant concern for collegiate athletes, often leading to mental issues, including anxiety, depression, and even somatization, due to the combined impact of physical limitations and academic pressure. Peer support interventions (PSI) provide an innovative approach by leveraging shared experiences, emotional support, and coping strategies to facilitate psychological rehabilitation. However, empirical evidence on their efficacy in injured collegiate athletes remains limited. This study aims to assess the efficacy of PSI in facilitating psychological rehabilitation among injured collegiate athletes. Method: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 51 injured collegiate athletes assigned to either experiment group (PSI, Results: Both groups showed varying degrees of improvement across all measured indicators compared to baseline, while the PSI group demonstrated higher effect sizes. Compared to the control group, the PSI significantly enhanced psychological resilience ( Conclusion: This study validates PSI as a cost-effective and highly interactive psychological intervention that enhances psychological resilience and alleviates stress in injured collegiate athletes, contributing to overall mental wellbeing. Further larger trials are required to confirm these findings. Clinical trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=251796, Identifier XJTU1AF2024LSYY-224.
