Team cohesion and mental resilience among vocational college students in ultimate frisbee courses: the parallel mediating roles of basic psychological need satisfaction in exercise and intrinsic motivation.

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
University students are increasingly exposed to academic, social and career-related stressors, and identifying mechanisms that promote their capacity to adapt to adversity has become a key priority in higher education. Ultimate frisbee, a cooperative team sport that emphasises fair play and communication, may provide a favourable context for developing mental resilience. This cross-sectional study examined how perceived team cohesion is related to mental resilience among vocational college students enrolled in ultimate frisbee courses, and whether basic psychological need satisfaction in exercise and intrinsic motivation operate as parallel mediators. A total of 390 students from five vocational colleges in Guangxi, China, completed validated Chinese versions of the Group Environment Questionnaire (team cohesion), the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale, the intrinsic motivation subscale of the BREQ-3, and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (SmartPLS 4.0) was used to estimate a parallel mediation model. The model explained 21.8% of the variance in basic psychological need satisfaction, 43.9% in intrinsic motivation and 46.4% in mental resilience. Team cohesion showed a significant direct positive effect on mental resilience (
