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
BackgroundSevere injuries and illnesses during an athlete's active career can lead to career interruption or retirement, and are associated with negative body image and decreased quality of life (QoL). However, the relationship between body image and QoL in retired female athletes with such medical histories remains unclear. Although support for athletes' health has recently increased, post-retirement support remains insufficient.ObjectivesThis study examined whether body appreciation, defined as respect for, acceptance of, and gratitude toward one's body, mediates the association between injury/illness history and QoL among retired female athletes.DesignA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 750 retired Japanese female athletes to assess their injury/illness histories (yes/no), QoL, and body appreciation.MethodsQoL was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), and body appreciation was measured using the Body Appreciation Scale-2. First, correlation analyses were performed for the study variables. Subsequently, mediation analyses examined whether body appreciation (M) mediated the relationship between injury/illness history (X) and the WHOQOL-BREF total score, the four domain scores, and the overall QoL (general health) score (Y).ResultsAmong 750 retired female athletes, 38.7% reported an injury/illness. Injury/illness history showed a small negative correlation with body appreciation (
