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
backgroundProtein plays a vital role in facilitating muscle growth and also plays an important part in the optimal repair and recovery of the muscle after exercise. These benefits are achieved by consuming higher-protein diets. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of increased protein intake before the pre-event on muscle fatigue (MF) and ascertain if the increased protein intake before the pre-event contributes to improving recovery in female athletes. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe experimental study was conducted at the Sports Academy for Basketball in Zagazig, Egypt, from July 2 to August 12, 2023. The study was conducted on 20 female basketball players (age: 16.65 ± 0.47 years; body height: 165.42 ± 3.09 cm; body mass: 59.68 ± 3.63 kg; training age: 2.44 ± 0.56 years). They were divided into two equally sized groups: The group with higher protein intake before the pre-event (HPP) and the group with normal protein intake before the pre-event (NPP) group. Both groups consumed the same dosage of protein (1.2 g/kg/day) as instructed (American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommendation). Both groups performed the same training protocol, three times a week, over 6 weeks. All variables were assessed one week before the experimental program and after the 6-week training period. Data were collected using the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) to assess fatigue index (FI) and peak power (PP), and the Anaerobic Power Step Test to assess anaerobic capacity (AC). Moreover, changes in heart rate (HRC) to assess the recovery. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 software with the descriptive statistical test. The level of significance was set at
resultsThe results showed that both groups made significant improvements in all variables (FI-PP-AC-HRC), but the HPP group had significantly greater improvements than the NPP group. The percentage of improvement ranged from 7% to 27% for the HPP group, versus 3% to 15% for the NPP group.
conclusionThe major conclusion drawn from this study was that increased protein intake before the pre-event has a positive impact on reducing MF development and enhancing recovery in female athletes.
