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
backgroundParticipation in physical-sporting activities is associated with positive physical, emotional, and social development during adolescence, a critical period characterized by significant biological, cognitive, and social changes. These developmental processes interact dynamically with individual differences in psychological traits and motivational factors, which strongly affect adolescents' sustained engagement and overall health outcomes through sport. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: A sample of adolescents was assessed using validated questionnaires measuring intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, personality traits, and levels of physical activity. Statistical analyses were conducted to examine associations between these variables and to identify gender differences.
resultsIntrinsic motivation was found to be strongly associated with sports engagement, showing a higher correlation than extrinsic motivation. Personality traits such as extraversion were positively associated with higher physical activity levels; gender differences emerged in neuroticism and conscientiousness, with females scoring higher in these traits. Adolescents exhibiting high intrinsic motivation showed lower neuroticism and greater openness to experience, outlining a characteristic psychosocial profile linked to sustained sports participation.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of integrating both motivation and personality considerations when developing interventions aimed at promoting active and healthy lifestyles in adolescence. Understanding these psychological factors can facilitate the creation of tailored strategies by educators, families, and sports professionals to enhance youth engagement and well-being.
