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
Purpose: This study explored the protective role of psychological resilience in children's sports injury recovery, and verified the chain mediating effect of emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression) and sports self-efficacy, to provide empirical evidence for psychological intervention in children's injury rehabilitation. Methods: A total of 128 injured children aged 8-12 years were selected via cluster sampling from the school (March 2024-March 2025). A 6-month follow-up (T0: baseline, T1: 3 months, T2: 6 months) was performed with scales measuring psychological resilience, emotion regulation (child version), sports self-efficacy, and injury recovery progress. SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive and correlation analyses, and Mplus 8.3 for longitudinal mediation and chain mediation models. Results: This study uses longitudinal mediation analysis to explore associative pathways, acknowledging unmeasured confounders may influence results. Baseline resilience was positively correlated with T1/T2 recovery ( Conclusion: Resilience affects recovery via two chains: improving cognitive reappraisal to enhance self-efficacy, and reducing expressive suppression to boost self-efficacy. Cognitive reappraisal is a more positive mediating path and a core target for psychological intervention.
