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

Understanding the motivational climate is crucial for comprehending athletes' experiences in sports. We used latent profile analysis to identify subgroups of youth athletes based on their perceptions of motivational climates from coaches and peers and examined how these profiles related to enjoyment levels and intentions to continue participation. Boys and girls aged 12-14 years (N = 272, 48.5% girls) were recruited from the Norwegian youth sport context. A five-profile solution was retained. Moreover, results showed that the profile characterized by high perceptions of a mastery climate and low perceptions of a performance climate, created by both coaches and peers, was associated with greater enjoyment than the other four profiles. Athletes in this profile also demonstrated a stronger intention to continue than those in a profile with low perceptions of a coach- and peer-created mastery climate in combination with high perceptions of a coach- and peer-created performance climate, as well as those in a profile with low perceptions of a coach- and peer-created mastery climate. Compared with the profile with low coach-performance perceptions, gender significantly predicted membership in the profile with low perceptions of a coach- and peer-created mastery climate, combined with high perceptions of a coach- and peer-created performance climate. This was the only gender difference in profile membership, indicating comparable likelihoods for boys and girls across profiles. In conclusion, profiles characterized by moderate-to-high perceptions of mastery climate, regardless of coach-created performance climate levels, reported higher enjoyment than profiles with low mastery perceptions.
