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
Background: Individuals with limb deficiency and limb loss (LD/LL) may suffer a negative impact to their biopsychosocial function as a result of their disability. Adaptive sports is a recognized avenue in which individuals with disability can improve their biopsychosocial function beyond what is experienced without participation. Our study explored the impact of participating in amputee soccer on biopsychosocial function from the perspective of the playing members of the American Amputee Soccer Association (AASA). Methods: The study utilized a qualitative design and followed the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research. Data were collected using survey questions and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for survey data and inductive coding to generate codes and themes. Results: Fifteen participants completed both the survey and interview. Survey results were consistent with a high quality of life. Three themes were generated from the data: 1) More than a Sport, it is a Community, 2) Benefits Body and Mind, and 3) Call to Action: Advocating for Others. Conclusion: Participants in the AASA reported a high quality of life and positive biopsychosocial benefits from playing amputee soccer. The benefits of participating in amputee soccer may exceed participating in a support group alone.
