Sport events' impact and legacy on quality of life: a scoping review.
Review in Frontiers in sports and active living, 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
Research purpose: The purpose of this research was to map and evaluate the existing literature on the impacts and legacies of sport events on quality of life outcomes, identifying trends, gaps and proposing future research directions. Based on the analysis of 70 studies that examines sport events' impact and legacies on quality of life, this scoping review aims to address three key questions: (1) What is the current state of the literature in terms of studied context and research design? (2) Which theoretical frameworks underpin the studies? (3) What are the key gaps in this research domain? Research method: The scoping review follows the five-stage framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Results and findings: (1) Predominant focus on mega/large events, heavy reliance on subjective measurements; (2) frequent absence of theoretical frameworks (3) Limited understanding of the distinct psychological mechanisms across event types that underlie quality of life outcomes.
