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
Objective: To explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health among high-performance competitive sports coaches, as well as the serial mediating effect of positive coping styles and resilience between the two variables, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving coaches' mental health. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 172 high-performance competitive sports coaches in Sichuan Province, China. Four measurement tools were adopted, including the Emotional Intelligence Scale, Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Resilience Scale. Data were analyzed via serial mediation analysis with Hayes' PROCESS Macro Model 6. Results: Mental health of high-performance competitive sports coaches was significantly negatively correlated with emotional intelligence ( Conclusion: Coaches' emotional intelligence can predict their mental health, and higher emotional intelligence corresponds to better mental health status. Resilience acts as an independent mediator between emotional intelligence and mental health. Positive coping styles and resilience jointly exert a chain mediating effect. Specifically, emotional intelligence is correlated with greater use of positive coping styles and higher resilience, and all three variables jointly display correlational links to better mental health status.
