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
Introduction: This study examined how dimensions of self-compassion are associated with psychological well-being among collegiate athletes and whether these associations operate through resilience, contingent on levels of self-efficacy. Methods: A total of 342 Korean collegiate athletes completed validated measures of self-compassion, resilience, self-efficacy, and Ryff's multidimensional psychological well-being domains (autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, and positive relations with others). Conditional process analyses were conducted using PROCESS Macro Model 14. Results: The results indicated that resilience significantly mediated the relationships between multiple self-compassion dimensions and psychological well-being outcomes. Moreover, self-efficacy moderated several of these indirect pathways, such that the magnitude and direction of the mediated effects varied across well-being domains. Specifically, moderated mediation was supported for autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and positive relations with others. In contrast, no significant conditional indirect effects were observed for personal growth, although certain self-compassion dimensions exerted significant direct effects on this outcome. Discussion: Taken together, these findings elucidate the multidimensional psychological mechanisms through which self-compassion contributes to athletes' well-being and highlight the critical roles of resilience and self-efficacy in shaping mental health outcomes. The results underscore the value of interventions that simultaneously strengthen resilience and enhance self-efficacy to promote psychological well-being among collegiate athletes..
