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
objectiveTo create a decision aid to support football participation after childbirth.
methodsThe creation of the decision aid was based on the knowledge-to-action cycle, using the intervention mapping knowledge and transfer framework. Five phases were used in the development process: (1) evaluation of scientific literature, (2) identifying barriers and enablers to sport participation after childbirth, (3) creating and refining the objective and approach of the decision aid, (4) ascertaining the key health screening components for the decision aid and (5) administering a preliminary assessment of the practicality and criterion validity of the decision aid for amateur to elite-level football players to support quality decision-making about football participation after childbirth.
resultsFollowing an evaluation of scientific literature to identify essential considerations for return-to-football after childbirth, the working group developed the
conclusionThis newly developed decision aid is designed to empower postpartum players and their multidisciplinary teams to make quality decisions about football participation after childbirth.
