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

Media's role in elite sport has grown exponentially from the second part of the 20th to the first part of the 21st century. It encompasses many aspects such as visibility, revenue generation, fan engagement, athlete branding, event promotion, policy decisions, international benchmarking, national pride, and cultural influence. A strong and symbiotic relationship between elite sports and the media is essential for sustained success and growth in the modern sports industry. The objective of this paper is to highlight the leverage that media has in a country's national elite sport ecosystem. This evaluation will consist of two frameworks of analysis, one that explains media's structural role in nations' success in international competitions, and another which explains its capacity to elevate sport into an instrument of power in international relations. This research identifies the unique position that media has in a country's national elite sport ecosystem and is recommended for theoretical advancement and practical application.
