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: This study examined the association between grit and psychological well-being among collegiate athletes and investigated whether social support from coaches and teammates moderates this relationship. Methods: A total of 342 Korean collegiate athletes completed validated measures of grit, perceived social support, and Ryff's psychological well-being dimensions. PROCESS Macro Models 1 and 2 were used to test direct and moderating effects. Results: Grit significantly predicted autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, and positive relations. Coach support attenuated grit's positive effects in several domains, whereas teammate support strengthened grit's influence, particularly for interpersonal well-being. Discussion: These findings highlight the interplay between personal traits and environmental factors in athletes' mental health. Fostering grit within supportive sport environments may enhance collegiate athletes' psychological well-being.
