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.

Abstract
Background: The present research aimed to analyze the relationship between perfectionism, sensitivity to anxiety, and distress tolerance in soccer referees. Methods: The sample consisted of 268 Spanish soccer referees from different categories and experience levels, and a correlational and cross-sectional design was used. Validated instruments such as the Results: The results showed that perfectionism, especially socially prescribed perfectionism, co-occurred with higher anxiety sensitivity, thereby increasing referees' emotional burden. On the other hand, referees with higher distress tolerance showed a better manage of their emotions better under pressure, which positively impacted their performance perceived and decision-making. In addition, distress tolerance partially mediated the relationship between perfectionism and anxiety sensitivity. Discussion: In conclusion, the implementation of psychological training programs is essential to improve referees' distress tolerance and emotional coping strategies, optimizing both their performance and psychological well-being in the professional domain.
