Interactive associations of daily music engagement and nutritional behavior with psychological performance in competitive athletes: a 14-day naturalistic diary study.

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: Music engagement and nutrition are each linked to athletes' mental states, yet their combined, day-to-day influence under real training conditions remains poorly understood. Objective: To determine whether daily music engagement and nutritional behavior are independently and interactively associated with psychological performance in competitive athletes. Methods: In a 14-day naturalistic digital diary study, 180 competitive athletes (≥18 years) from university teams and sports clubs reported daily music engagement, nutritional behavior, training load, sleep quality, and psychological performance. The primary analyses used multilevel mixed-effects models to separate within-person from between-person variation and to test the music × nutrition interaction. The final reported dataset comprised 2,184 athlete-day observations from 156 athletes; the handling of excluded participants and missing records is described in the Methods. Results: Within-person increases in music engagement ( Conclusion: More favorable daily music engagement and nutritional behavior were jointly associated with greater psychological readiness. Because the design was observational and concurrent, the findings should be interpreted as within-person covariation and require confirmation in prospectively powered experimental studies.
