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: Physical inactivity is a global problem today, with multiple negative impacts on physical and psychological health. This study used the self-determination perspective and the hierarchical model of leisure constraints to study recreational sport participation within the framework of the leisure negotiation proposition. Methods: Latent class analysis (LCA) was employed in order to cluster individuals according to their motivation level (intrinsic, extrinsic, and amotivation) and to compare the cluster groups' scores on intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural constraints. The sample of the study included three hundred and eighteen ( Results: Three distinct segments emerged from the latent class analysis, based on the motivation scores. The study revealed that the cluster with the highest intrinsic and extrinsic motivation scores had the lowest intrapersonal constraints scores, providing support for the important roles of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in successful negotiation and overcoming intrapersonal constraints. Conclusion: The role of extrinsic motivation should be noted, as it is equally important in the context of recreational sports, alongside intrinsic motivation, through the individual's internalization processes.
