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: Mental-health symptoms in professional athletes may impair performance, making timely screening important. This study examined Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ; SMHAT-1 Step 1) scores and their associations with competition level, age, and self-rated team status in 170 male Russian soccer players. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 170 male Russian soccer players (mean age 21.1 ± 4.3 years). APSQ scores and their associations with competition level, age, and self-rated team status were assessed using ordinary least squares regression with HC3 robust standard errors. Results: Mean APSQ score was 17.8 ± 4.4, and 101/170 players screened positive at the ≥17 triage threshold (59.4%; 95% CI 51.9-66.5%). Age was positively associated with APSQ score ( Discussion: These cross-sectional findings require cautious interpretation and confirmation in longitudinal, team-linked studies with further psychometric evaluation of the Russian adaptation.
