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

Introduction: The concept of a dual career, which emphasizes the integration of athletic and academic pursuits, has become increasingly central to athlete development policies worldwide. Although the Dual Career Competency Questionnaire for Athletes (DCCQ-A) has been psychometrically validated in multiple European contexts, Japan still lacks a culturally adapted and scalable tool to assess student-athletes' dual-career competencies. Therefore, this study aimed to address this gap by developing and validating a web-based Japanese version of the DCCQ-A (DCCQ-AJ) to facilitate empirical research and provide evidence-based educational interventions. Methods: Data were collected via an online survey from 1,035 university student-athletes ( Results: All items demonstrated strong content validity, and G-P analysis indicated significant item discrimination ( Conclusion: The DCCQ-AJ is a psychometrically sound web-based instrument for assessing dual-career competencies among Japanese student-athletes. Its scalability and structural equivalence to the original DCCQ-A render it suitable for cross-cultural comparative studies and longitudinal monitoring. This tool has practical utility for researchers and institutions aimed at evaluating and enhancing dual-career support frameworks in higher education and elite sports contexts.
