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

Background: This study examined the relationships between Chinese university track-and-field coaches' communication ability, student-athletes' sport passion, and ego-resilience. It further tested whether sport passion mediates the association between coaches' communication ability and athletes' ego-resilience. Methods: A questionnaire survey was applied to Chinese university track-and-field student-athletes, yielding 412 valid responses. Descriptive statistics were computed, and the psychometric properties of the measures were evaluated using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine bivariate associations. Subsequently, structural equation modeling was performed to test the hypothesized direct and indirect (mediated) pathways with model fit evaluated using commonly accepted fit indices. Results: The structural model demonstrated acceptable fit (χ Conclusion: Findings highlight the importance of coaches' communication ability in fostering student-athletes' adaptive psychological resources. Interventions aimed at improving coaches' communication may help strengthen athletes' sport passion and in turn support the development of ego-resilience.
