Investigating the impairment-performance relationship during competition in elite blind and partially sighted football.

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: Classification systems aim to minimise the impact of impairment on competition outcome. To measure the effectiveness of a classification system, the relationship between impairment and performance must be investigated. There are two forms of football for athletes with vision impairment (VI): blind football and partially sighted football. Athletes are allocated to either one based on VI severity. Research is yet to assess the impact of impairment on performance in competition; therefore, this study aimed to measure the impairment-performance relationship in male blind, partially sighted and women's blind football. Methods: Notational data consisting of several technical performance measures were assessed (including, but not limited to, possession, passing, shots, and goals) and combined with visual function data from elite blind and partially sighted footballers. Correlations of notational match data and visual acuity (VA) were measured for male blind and partially sighted footballers (study one) and women's blind footballers (study two). Results: In study 1: the team-level analysis revealed a weak but statistically significant correlation between win ratio and VA for male blind football ( Discussion: These results evidence a different impairment-performance relationship for each version of the sport, and that the current classification system may not optimise fairness across each form of football.
