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

Objective: This study aims to explore the relationship between coaches' behaviors and athletes' psychological fatigue, and to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in this relationship. Methods: Using convenience sampling, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 332 Chinese basketball players from Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Liaoning provinces (63.3% male, 36.7% female; with 61.1% aged 18-21). The assessment tools included the Coach Leadership Behavior Scale, the Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire, and the Sport Psychological Fatigue Scale. Results: Correlation analysis indicated significant correlations among the study variables. Regression analysis further revealed that authoritarian leadership behavior positively predicted psychological fatigue ( Conclusion: This study reveals significant correlations among coaching leadership behaviors, athletic psychological resilience, and athletes' psychological fatigue, as well as among these dimensions themselves. Coaching leadership behaviors directly influence athletes' psychological fatigue and indirectly affect it through the mediating role of psychological resilience.
