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
Background: Academy football players are continuously challenged in terms of their psychological resilience due to the high pressure competitive environment and developmental demands. In this context, key factors influencing athletes' psychological resilience include perceived social support, self-efficacy, and psychological skills. This study examined the effect of perceived social support on academy football players' psychological resilience, and the mediating roles of self-efficacy and psychological skills. Methods: Data were collected through voluntary surveys administered to football players in the academies of professional football clubs in Istanbul between August and September 2025. The study sample consisted of 430 academy players ( Results: The findings indicated that: (1) perceived social support had no direct significant effect on psychological resilience (95% CI [-0.015, 0.237]); (2) perceived social support exerted a significant direct effect on self-efficacy ( Conclusion: This highlights the importance of both environmental support and individual psychological resources during the transition to professionalism. Accordingly, coaches, mentors, and support staff in football academies are encouraged not only to provide social support but also to implement programs aimed at fostering athletes' self-efficacy.
