Mental health in elite and youth athletes: emerging strategies and evidence-based trends: a narrative review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. 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
The significance of mental health in athletes is acknowledged and valued. This review explores psychosocial triggers, evolving screening approaches, digital mood-tracking tools, and embedded mental health professionals in performance programs. Numerous studies have shown that the occurrence of depressive symptoms and anxiety is common among high performance athletes. Recent systematic reviews confirm anxiety, depression, and distress rates of 20-35%, especially around injury, deselection, or career change. In this article, we aim to focus on psychiatric issues faced by athletes and propose strategies that would help in improving mental health. Several reasons that affect the mental health of this population have been highlighted. The lack of proper mental health support, no access to sports psychologists in the training programs need urgent attention. A key point is that team support and self-confidence can also help buffer the negative effects of perfectionism on anxiety and performance.
