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

This study investigates the multidimensional relationships between sports education and psychological, cognitive, social, strategic, and environmental outcomes. The purpose of the study is to examine the multidimensional role of sports education in shaping psychological, cognitive, social, strategic, and environmental outcomes, while also assessing the mediating roles of psychological well-being and strategic capacity. A quantitative research design was adopted, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that sports education has a significant positive effect on social development, psychological well-being, environmental awareness, cognitive focus, and strategic capacity. The results further indicate that psychological well-being positively influences cognitive focus, whereas strategic capacity positively affects social development. In addition, psychological well-being mediates the relationship between sports education and cognitive focus, while strategic capacity mediates the relationship between sports education and social development. Emotional intelligence was included as an additional construct and was found to have significant positive effects on psychological well-being and cognitive focus, although its direct effect on social development was not statistically significant. Overall, the study highlights the multidimensional developmental value of sports education, particularly in promoting psychological well-being, cognitive focus, social development, strategic capacity, and environmental awareness across diverse learning contexts.
