1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Enhancing start performance can substantially reduce overall race time, particularly in sprint swimming events. The aim of this study was to examine differences in angular and temporal characteristics of individual start phases over 5 m when performing from the new DKS ("double kick start") starting block in various pedal angle settings and from the OSB12 starting platform. The sample consisted of 13 junior competitive swimmers (age 17.7 ± 1.1 years), who completed a total of 10 maximal-effort starts. From the DKS block, swimmers performed two attempts at pedal settings of 30°/30°, 40°/40°, 50°/50°, and 60°/60°, and two attempts from the OSB12 platform. Kinematic parameters above and below the water surface were analyzed using a 4-camera SwimPro system and Dartfish ProSuite 4.0 software. Differences between conditions were evaluated using repeated measures ANOVA. For significant interactions,
