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.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationships among weakness under pressure, sport passion, and exhibiting resilience in amateur and professional esports players in Türkiye, and to determine whether sport passion mediates the relationship between weakness under pressure and exhibiting resilience. Method: The present study was conducted with 508 male volunteers aged 18 years and over from various provinces of Türkiye. Data were collected through face-to-face and online settings using a personal information form, the Sport Passion Scale, and the Sports Team Resilience Characteristics Inventory. In the present study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the scales were 0.84 and 0.90, respectively. Normality was assessed based on the ±2 skewness and kurtosis criterion. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples Results: Esports players who had received formal esports training reported significantly higher levels of sport passion and exhibiting resilience. Exhibiting resilience also increased with age and years of esports involvement. Moreover, sport passion was positively and moderately associated with exhibiting resilience and emerged as a significant predictor of exhibiting resilience. Mediation analysis further showed that sport passion partially mediated the relationship between weakness under pressure and exhibiting resilience. Conclusion: The findings suggest that sport passion plays an important role in resilience-related processes among esports players. Players with higher levels of sport passion appear to demonstrate stronger capacities for exhibiting resilience in the face of competitive pressure and challenges. In this regard, sport passion may be considered a meaningful psychological resource for supporting exhibiting resilience and psychological well-being in esports settings. Therefore, fostering balanced and constructive forms of passion should be considered in the design of psychosocial interventions aimed at strengthening resilience-related capacities in esports players.
