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: Youth football represents an important educational and social environment for young people's development. Previous studies have typically assessed players, coaches, and parents using the same questionnaire to directly compare perceptions. Although methodologically rigorous, this approach may overlook role-specific perspectives. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse and compare the perceptions of players, coaches, and parents regarding the educational and social value of youth football from their respective viewpoints. Methods: A multidimensional, multi-stakeholder approach was adopted through a comparative re-analysis of data collected using three role-specific questionnaires administered to players, coaches, and parents. While differing in wording, the questionnaires addressed equivalent concepts across five contextual dimensions: (1) educational value of the football academy, (2) educational and communicative relationships, (3) inclusion and equity, (4) safety and relational climate, and (5) social function of the club. Composite indices were calculated for each dimension and analysed using descriptive statistics and between-group comparisons through Welch's ANOVA. Results: No statistically significant differences emerged among players, coaches, and parents regarding the educational value of football academies, educational relationships, and inclusion-related dimensions. However, significant differences emerged in perceptions of safety and the club's social function ( Discussion: These findings emphasize the importance of considering stakeholder-specific perspectives when evaluating the educational and social role of youth football. Greater alignment between organizational practices, educational objectives, and young athletes' lived experiences may enhance the effectiveness of youth sport environments. Furthermore, the role-specific methodology adopted in this study generated stakeholder-relevant findings while preserving methodological rigor, offering a valuable framework for future research in youth sport settings.
