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
Introduction: Parental influence is a central element in sport development. Therefore, parental beliefs and attitudes toward sport may influence the support provided to enhance the sport development of sons and daughters. Objective: The present study analyzed the relationship between parental beliefs and the support provided by parents to young athletes. Before this analysis, validity evidence was examined for the instruments used in the study. Method: A non-probability sample of 505 adolescents and young adults from eastern Mexico City was included, with a mean age of 20.6 years (SD = 2.85). All participants practiced either an individual or team sport. Results: Validity evidence was obtained for two measurement instruments. The Parental Beliefs about Sport Potential Scale was composed of four factors, and the Parental Support in Sport Scale was composed of three factors. Both scales showed adequate psychometric properties. In addition, significant positive and negative relationships were found between parental beliefs about sport potential and parental support. Conclusions: The results highlight the importance of parental influence in sport and suggest the need to promote forms of support that contribute to sport maintenance, participation, and performance.
