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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between sport-specific mindfulness and dispositional flow in collegiate athletes and to test whether cognitive reappraisal and sport confidence showed independent and sequential indirect effects in this association. Methods: A total of 583 collegiate athletes from universities in Guangxi, Hebei, Liaoning, and Tianjin, China, completed a cross-sectional questionnaire survey assessing sport-specific mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal, sport confidence, and dispositional flow. Confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation analyses, regression analyses, and sequential mediation analysis using the PROCESS macro (version 5.0, Model 6) were conducted. Indirect effects were tested using 5,000 bias-corrected bootstrap samples, with sex, age group, and years of sport participation controlled. Results: Sport-specific mindfulness was significantly and positively correlated with cognitive reappraisal ( Conclusion: Sport-specific mindfulness was significantly and positively associated with dispositional flow among collegiate athletes. Cognitive reappraisal and sport confidence showed significant independent and sequential indirect effects in this association, with cognitive reappraisal accounting for the largest proportion of the total indirect effect. These findings indicate that cognitive reappraisal and sport confidence are important psychological factors for understanding the relationship between sport-specific mindfulness and dispositional flow among collegiate athletes.
