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

Programme leaders (PLs; e.g., coaches) are integral for fostering the quality participation (QP) of blind and partially sighted athletes. However, information about fostering QP for blind and partially sighted people is often inaccessible to PL. Informed by the Quality Parasport Participation Framework, we formulated this scoping review related to the sport participation of blind and partially sighted people and the strategies that support QP. Searching four databases, we screened 1245 studies and included 29 articles, generating insight related to study characteristics and the extent of in/direct references to the experiential elements of QP. After interpretive analysis, we constructed three principles to reconceptualize sport participation in relevant and affirming ways for blind and partially sighted athletes, as well as 33 foundational support strategies and 16 outcomes potentially associated with the QP. This project contributes to the visibility of blind and partially sighted athletes in the literature and in the Quality Parasport Participation Framework.
