Effects of blood flow restriction moderate intensity interval training on aerobic and anaerobic capabilities and lower extremity performance in male college basketball players.

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
This study investigated whether blood flow restriction moderate-intensity interval training (BFR-MIIT) could achieve or surpass the training effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) at lower training intensities. A total of 33 male college basketball players completed the trial and were randomly assigned to the BFR-MIIT group (n = 17) and the HIIT group (n = 16). Both groups performed the 4 × 4 "Norwegian" training method, with the BFR-MIIT group engaging in moderate-intensity training and the HIIT group in high-intensity training. Assessments included the Wingate Anaerobic Power Test, the multistage 20-meter shuttle run test, and tests of jumping ability (countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), and drop jump (DJ)), sprinting ability (30-meter sprint), and change of direction ability (505 test). Post-intervention, both the BFR-MIIT group (p < 0.001, ES=-1.199) and the HIIT group (p = 0.02, ES=-0.526) showed significant and equivalent improvements in VO
