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: Adults with Disabilities and Older Adults face unequal access to sports facilities, services, and policy information. In Chengdu, these barriers are linked to uneven resource allocation, limited accessibility, and differences in community organizational capacity and institutional trust. Drawing on social capital theory, this study examines how supply-side and demand-side inclusive sports policies are associated with sports participation through structural capital, relational capital, and community-network functions. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 752 Adults with Disabilities and Older Adults in Chengdu. Institutional support was measured through supply-side and demand-side policy indicators derived from municipal policy documents and survey responses. Structural capital reflected community sports-organization density and activity frequency, while relational capital represented institutional trust. Community-network functions included resource matching and information transmission. Sports participation was assessed using a composite index of frequency, duration, and activity diversity. Structural equation modeling, hierarchical regression, and 5,000-sample bootstrap analyses were used to test mediation, moderation, and subgroup differences. Results: The model showed acceptable fit (χ Discussion: Inclusive sports policies are associated with participation through different mechanisms. Supply-side policies rely more on community organizations and resource matching, while demand-side on trust and information. Policy design should move beyond uniform resource provision and address group-specific accessibility and communication needs. Because the study used cross-sectional data from Chengdu, the findings should not be interpreted as causal and require longitudinal and comparative verification.
