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
Most studies on digital tools for assessing psychological states in sports have focused on screening athletes who show pathological tendencies, while few have examined their potential use for team management or coaching strategies. Moreover, little evidence exists regarding long-term, voluntary use among youth athletes. This study introduced an online psychological assessment system into a youth sports team to examine the effectiveness of digital tools for monitoring athletes' psychological states, based on usage patterns and assessment results. Participants were 81 male soccer academy athletes aged 12-17 years. Analyses were conducted on annual participation frequency, overall score trends, intraindividual variability, and the relationships between motivation to continue participation and satisfaction measures. The athletes completed the assessments an average of 4.16 times over the year, but participation rates declined in the latter half of the period. The variance in relationship with coach and satisfaction with growth increased during the competitive season. Satisfaction with life and satisfaction with time in daily life showed large intraindividual fluctuations. Satisfaction with growth, relationship with coach, satisfaction with life, and satisfaction with time in daily life significantly influenced motivation to continue participation. These results indicate that psychological assessment tools may be useful for tracking seasonal changes in athletes' psychological states, enabling early detection of dissatisfaction or concerns beyond team activities, and guiding the prioritization of support to promote sustained sport participation. Digital tools enabling regular psychological monitoring can reduce respondent burden, complement coaches' expertise, and serve as effective resources for team management and mental health support.
