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
This study investigated the relationship between coaches' behavior and athletes' engagement and disaffection in the Chinese sports training context, and examined the mediating role of basic mental needs and psychological capital. Athletes (N = 485) completed a questionnaire to assess the study variables. The results showed significant direct influence of coach supportive behavior on athletes' training engagement and coach controlling behavior on athletes' training disaffection. In addition, Bootstrap analyses highlighted the significant mediating role of basic mental needs and psychological capital in the relationship between coaches' behavior (supportive and controlling behavior) and athletes' training engagement and disaffection. Findings support theoretical hypotheses emphasizing that coaches should enhance supportive behaviors and reduce controlling behaviors in Chinese youth basketball training, which is not only of great significance to cultivate athletes' positive psychological capital, but also of great importance to promote athletes' engagement as well as avoid disaffected emotions and behaviors during training.
