Sports sponsorship, gambling bans, and regulatory compliance: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: This systematic review evaluates the impact of sports sponsorship bans and betting restrictions on marketing practices, regulatory compliance, and consumer behavior following global market liberalization. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines and the SPICE framework, we searched five major academic databases for peer-reviewed literature from 2022 onwards, synthesizing 29 eligible studies evaluated via the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Results: Gambling sponsorship has expanded rapidly in professional sports over two decades. Comprehensive statutory bans significantly reduce marketing exposure and new gambling registrations, whereas partial or voluntary self-regulatory restrictions lead to marketing displacement and circumvention tactics such as sub-branding. Discussion: Partial and voluntary restrictions are insufficient to protect public health and sports integrity. Comprehensive statutory prohibitions covering primary and derivative proxy brands, supported by strong enforcement and alternative funding for sports organizations, are essential for effective policy implementation.
