Evaluating burnout of soccer players with respect to their positions.

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: Athlete burnout is a common negative psychological state of athletes, which includes physical/emotional exhaustion, diminished personal accomplishment, and negative evaluation of sports. The aim of this study is to examine the burnout dimensions in amateur football players according to playing positions. Methods: A total of 113 amateur soccer players participated in the study (age range: 20-35) and the mean (SD) weight was 74.81 ± 8.41 kg, height was 179 ± 2.56 cm. An Athlete Burnout Questionnaire was used to determine the athlete burnout dimensions of soccer players. Results: The results of study show that the data revealed the defense players had higher values in the two subscales: emotional/physical exhaustion (EPE) and sport devaluation (SDeval). On the other hand, the strikers had higher values in the reduced sense of accomplishment (RSA) subscale. Conclusion: Based on the indicators of burnout dimensions, goalkeepers, midfielders, and forwards appear to make adequate psychophysiological adjustments to the demands of competition regarding physical and emotional exhaustion and sport devaluation. In terms of reduced sense of accomplishment, goalkeepers, defenders, and midfielders demonstrate sufficient psychophysiological adaptation to competitive demands. The impact (preventing goals and scoring goals) represented by defenders and strikers with higher burnout scores should be investigated.
