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

The study examined how macro-environmental factors influenced the preparation of the Ukrainian national Olympic team across two distinct crisis contexts-the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic cycles. A PEST-based expert survey was applied to assess political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological factors. Two validated questionnaires were used. Twenty-four high-performance athletes who participated in the Olympic Games were involved as experts. The structure of macro-environmental influence differs between the two cycles. In the Tokyo cycle, economic factors had the greatest weight (43%), while political and socio-cultural factors played a more limited role. In contrast, the Paris cycle was characterized by a substantial increase in the importance of political (28%) and socio-cultural (25%) factors, largely related to wartime conditions. Technological factors remained constrained in both cycles. Expert agreement was moderate but statistically significant (Tokyo:
