Sense of Community Narratives in Colombian Masters Swimming.
Article in Journal of community psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study examined Sense of Community (SOC) in Colombian Masters swimming, interrogating the nature of collective SOC experiences within adult sport and how they shaped psychological outcomes from community. Thirty field observations, three focus groups, and seven individual interviews were used to collect data from 17 swimmers (40-68 years old; 12 women, five men). Narrative analysis focused on shared stories describing community life, alongside swimmers' interpretations of how participation influenced their experiences. Five narrative accounts integrated cultural context, collective SOC meanings, and individual perspectives. Across accounts, six community characteristics (everyday care, camaraderie and respect, celebration, facilitative leadership, inspiration from diversity, intergenerational integration) were associated with six psychological outcomes (mattering, commitment, confidence, emotional renewal, belonging and recognition, purpose). Community characteristics and outcomes were not discrete or sequential; rather, relational conditions within the community simultaneously shaped swimmers' sense of value, motivation, confidence, and emotional wellbeing through everyday interaction.
