1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The transition out of elite sports presents a complex array of psychological, financial, career, and social challenges requiring tailored and sustainable support services for elite athletes. Thus, this study explored policies, programs, and practices surrounding elite athletes' mental health, career transitions, and retirement support services. Methods: A tailored semi-structured survey was administered to major sports organizations to assess typology, modality, funding, and perceived challenges of services delivery to elite athletes. Results: Respondent organizations ( Discussions: Results highlighted the absence of regulatory frameworks for career assistance and temporary initiatives/activities or informal support as the common practice. Multi-faceted programs and comprehensive, athlete-centered systems are needed to foster a sustainable and effective support for elite athletes.
