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
Playing sports remains one of the most common avenues for youth engagement in physical activity. Yet mental health challenges, such as performance anxiety, depressive symptoms, reduced motivation, and burnout, place many young athletes at risk. As key mediators of sport participation, coaches' roles are often underscored in recognizing shifts in athlete motivation, behavior, or well-being. Gaining better insight into athlete mental health status may enable coaches to provide timely support and strengthen athlete and team well-being. In this study protocol, we employ a mixed-methods design, evaluating the effectiveness of an AI-augmented mobile application (i.e., ThriveNudge) in promoting the mental health of youth athletes. ThriveNudge helps coaches monitor athlete mental health, flag mood disruptions, and practice supportive communication via simulated chats. A target sample of four interscholastic teams (with athletes aged 14-18 years) and their head coaches will be recruited. Teams will be cluster-randomized to either the intervention condition (
