A meta-analysis of the relationship between the RPE and well-being in adolescent athletes: the critical moderating role of well-being dimensions.

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
Introduction: The relationship between the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and well-being in adolescent athletes is controversial, complicating effective athlete monitoring. This meta-analysis aimed to clarify this relationship and investigate the critical moderating role of well-being dimensions. Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched the Web of Science and PubMed, including 24 studies (57 effect sizes). Results: An initial analysis of the overall relationship revealed extremely high heterogeneity (I Conclusion: In conclusion, the RPE-well-being relationship is profound but context-dependent, driven by the nature of the well-being metric (consumptive vs. restorative). This provides a scientific basis for more precise athlete monitoring. Systematic review registration: CRD420251138178, https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420251138178.
