Case Report: Overload of a cross-country skier in elite sports, somatoform autonomic disorder, and end-of-career support.

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
Introduction: In recent years, sports psychiatry and psychotherapy has developed rapidly. Under the umbrella of the International Society for Sports Psychiatry (ISSP), the first international consensus statement on sports psychiatry was recently published. Fields of sports psychiatry were identified. In the field of competitive and elite sports, the end of a sports career is a vulnerable phase. The end of a sports career can lead to an increased prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and disorders. This is illustrated using the case of a cross-country skier. Case description: The interactions between success, mental health, stress, training and overload are presented. In this context, a treatment with the Synergetic Navigation System (SNS) for digitized real-time monitoring is presented, considering the interaction of the various factors. Symptoms of overtraining were apparently helpful in treating somatoform autonomic dysfunction. The pre-treatment proved helpful when the athlete returned for treatment years later due to depression at the end of his career. Discussion: To set a standard of service and a direction for future development in the field of sports psychiatry and psychotherapy, it is necessary to define typical and problematic issues to develop common approaches. The end of a career is an important issue in competitive and elite sports, and one in which athletes need support, recommended with integration into mental health care and prevention concepts. Conclusion: At the end of a sports career thorough and comprehensive preparation for post sport life is highly recommended. An "Exit Health Examination" including mental health exploration and "After Career Consultations" could be beneficial.
