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: Adolescent depression is a major public health concern, particularly in educational contexts characterized by high academic pressure. This study examined the association between parent-adolescent sports participation (PSP) and adolescent depression, with attention to the serial mediating roles of the parent-adolescent relationship (PR) and academic difficulty (AD). Methods: Using cross-sectional data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS), the analysis included 16,984 early adolescents, including 8,560 males and 8,424 females. PSP, PR, AD, and depression were assessed using self-reported measures. Data were analyzed using Model 6 of the PROCESS Macro in SPSS 26.0. Results: PSP was negatively associated with depression, Conclusion: These findings highlight the relevance of family-based sports participation, parent-adolescent relationships, and academic experiences in understanding depression among Chinese adolescents.
