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
This study aims to explore the coping mechanisms of high school female volleyball players, including the associations between four factors (strategies, psychobiosocial experiences, sports emotions, and recovery-stress balance) and competition performance. A total of 96 valid participants were recruited from the girls' division of the 1st National Secondary School Volleyball Regional League Finals, and their psychological states were assessed using the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI-28), Psychobiosocial Experience Semantic Differential Scale in Sport (PESD-Sport), Sport Emotion Questionnaire (SEQ), and Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-Sport). Network analysis was adopted to analyze the relationships between the four factors and competition performance: (1) Confidence and achievement motivation (EI = 1.207, bridge EI = 0.423) is identified as the most influential nodes in the network and simultaneously function as bridge nodes, linking multiple communities. In addition, dejection (weight = 0.146), sports recovery (weight = -0.097), (2) and goal setting/mental preparation (weight = 0.048) are closely associated with competition performance, with dejection showing the strongest connection to competition performance. These findings yield empirical, data-driven implications for coaches and sport psychologists, indicating that targeted interventions designed to boost athletes' confidence and achievement motivation may generate comprehensive benefits spanning emotional regulation and competitive performance. Moreover, the proactive monitoring and regulation of negative affective states (e.g., dejection) could facilitate more precise psychological interventions, thereby optimizing the competitive performance of female high school volleyball players.
