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/objective: Active leisure activities like park golf are crucial for older adults' successful aging. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) paradigm and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study investigated the structural relationships among perceived servicescape, facility image, satisfaction, motivation, and subjective well-being. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed. Data from 264 older adult park golf participants in South Korea were analyzed using structural equation modeling. A phantom variable approach was employed to rigorously test multiple mediation effects. Results: The physical servicescape (stimulus) positively impacted both perceived image and facility satisfaction (organism), which subsequently enhanced participation motivation (response). The structural model showed an acceptable fit ( Conclusion: Beyond establishing excellent physical infrastructure, fostering an emotionally appealing facility image is vital for promoting continuous sports participation and genuine psychological well-being among older adults. These findings provide empirical evidence for infrastructure design and emotion-oriented marketing in age-friendly sports facilities. Ultimately, this research offers practical insights into utilizing leisure environments as public health interventions to promote successful aging.
