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
Physical inactivity is a prevalent issue worldwide with concerning implications for public health. Regular participation in sporting activities is associated with numerous physical, psychological, and social benefits. This research aimed to examine the the impact of sport engagement on sportive life satisfaction, mental well-being, and psychological well-being among 473 Turkish athletes, comprising 246 females and 227 males, from various sports disciplines: football, rugby, wrestling, kickboxing, archery, table tennis, taekwondo, volleyball, swimming, cycling, handball, and karate. Research data were collected through validated scales measuring sport engagement, sportive life satisfaction, mental well-being, and psychological well-being. In addition to descriptive statistics, hypotheses formulated within the research model were tested via correlation and multiple regression analyses within the relational model framework. Correlation analysis demonstrated a positive association between sport engagement and all three well-being dimensions. Multiple regression analyses further confirmed that sport engagement significantly and positively predicted sportive life satisfaction, mental and psychological well-being. Sports participation should be encouraged to enhance life satisfaction, mental and psychological well-being.
