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: Based on Miller's psychological model of ice hockey success, this study aims to develop a specialized and systematic mental training program for Chinese female 3v3 ice hockey athletes, providing empirical evidence for improving the competitive performance of China's ice hockey teams and the psychological development of reserve talents. Methods: Twenty-two athletes from the Chinese National Women's 3v3 Ice Hockey Team were recruited as participants. According to the six core dimensions of the psychological model of ice hockey success, a systematic mental intervention program was constructed, including goal orientation, emotional regulation, positive self-talk, teamwork, and other modules.The Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and competitive performance indicators were used to assess outcomes before and after the intervention. Paired-sample t-tests and repeated-measures ANOVA were applied to examine differences across measurement points. Results: After the intervention, athletes' occupational burnout decreased significantly.Scores for emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy dropped from 4.23 ± 1.25, 3.87 ± 1.12, 4.01 ± 1.18 to 3.12 ± 1.08, 2.95 ± 0.98, 3.05 ± 1.02, respectively.Paired-sample t-tests revealed highly significant differences for all subscales (t = 5.31-5.81, all Conclusion: The systematic mental training system based on Miller's psychological model of ice hockey success can significantly improve the mental health and performance-related psychological capacities of female 3v3 ice hockey athletes.Verified in the preparation practice of the national team, this program provides a replicable framework for mental training in youth ice hockey athletes, with core techniques including goal decomposition, mindful breathing, and positive self-talk.
