Sexual harassment in sport: a systematic review of risk factors, theoretical frameworks, and prevention strategies (2020-2025).
Review in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sexual harassment (SH) remains a persistent safeguarding problem in sport, yet recent research highlights that its drivers operate simultaneously across structural, cultural, interpersonal, and situational levels. To clarify current knowledge in this rapidly developing field, this review synthesizes studies published between 2020 and 2025 examining risk factors, theoretical interpretations, and emerging prevention strategies in sport settings. Four frameworks (e.g., feminist theory, organizational culture theory, intersectionality, and routine activity theory) provided the analytical foundation for integrating recent evidence. Across studies, SH risk is elevated in environments characterized by power asymmetries, hypermasculine norms, weak guardianship, compromised reporting mechanisms, and limited institutional accountability. Prevention approaches increasingly emphasize independent safeguarding structures, improved organizational oversight, differentiated protections for marginalized groups, and situational measures that reduce opportunity for harm. This review contributes a consolidated analysis of contemporary findings and outlines implications for designing multi-level, theory-informed strategies to strengthen athlete safety in both physical and digital sport environments.
