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

This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of a 16-week systematic table tennis training program on the Big Five personality traits of primary school students. Previous research has largely focused on the macro-level effects of physical activity, with limited fine-grained investigation into the psychological shaping mechanisms of specific sports, particularly intervention-based evidence involving children without prior training. A total of 98 male students aged 9-10 years were enrolled and, after propensity score matching (including age, baseline personality scores, etc.), were allocated to an experimental group (
