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
Background: In-person sports event attendance is an important way for residents to encounter sporting events, engage in leisure activities, and expand social interaction. Examining the relationships among in-person sports event attendance, physical exercise, and residents' health-related wellbeing can help clarify the public health value of sports event resources. Methods: Using data from the 2023 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS 2023), this study measured residents' health-related wellbeing across four dimensions: physical health, mental health, social interaction, and subjective happiness. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, potential mediating-pathway tests, ordered logit models, binary logit models, alternative-indicator tests, and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to examine the association between in-person sports event attendance and health-related wellbeing and the potential behavioral pathway involving physical exercise. Results: In-person sports event attendance was significantly and positively associated with residents' health-related wellbeing (β = 0.412, Conclusion: In-person sports event attendance is consistently and positively associated with residents' health-related wellbeing, with social interaction being the most prominent dimension. Physical exercise may constitute a potential mediating pathway linking in-person attendance and health-related wellbeing. Sports event resources should be connected with community health promotion and public sports services, and support mechanisms should be strengthened to link viewing experiences with everyday physical activity.
