Effects of resisted sprint training on sprint, jump, and change-of-direction performance in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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: To systematically evaluate the effects of RST (resisted sprint training) on athletes' sprint, jump, and COD (change-of-direction performance). Methods: Following PRISMA, we searched seven databases from inception to 12 July 2025-PubMed, Web of Science (all databases), MEDLINE, CENTRAL, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and Embase. Study certainty was appraised with GRADE. All included data were analyzed in Stata/MP 18.0. Results: Sixteen studies (404 participants) were included. RST significantly improved linear sprint performance (SMD = 0.65, p < 0.001, I Conclusion: Both RST and UST improve linear sprint performance and COD ability. Only RST shows a significant within-group gain in vertical jump. Compared with UST, RST yields greater benefits for initial acceleration (0-10 m) and among youth athletes. Practically, when the primary goal is initial acceleration and COD, prioritize RST; for broader explosive-power development, pair RST with vertically oriented strength or plyometric training to develop both horizontal and vertical force qualities.
