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

Purpose: This study examines the associations between AI-assisted training and sport performance among student-athletes using a dual-path chain mediation framework. Specifically, it tests two hypothesized chain mediation pathways and examines the moderating role of psychological adaptability. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 600 student-athletes from universities in three Chinese provinces using convenience sampling. Structural equation modeling and moderated regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. Results: AI-assisted training was significantly associated with higher sport performance, with evidence of a primary association (β = 0.124, 95% CI [0.091, 0.156], Conclusion: AI-assisted training was associated with higher sport performance both directly and indirectly through two conceptual pathways-cognitive-skill and behavioral-psychological processes. Moreover, the strength of these associations varied as a function of athletes' psychological adaptability, indicating a significant moderating role.
