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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of combined carbohydrate (CH) and caffeine (CAF) supplementation on the sports performance of basketball players. A randomized crossover controlled experimental design was employed. A total of 32 collegiate-level basketball players were randomly assigned to one of the four groups: placebo (PLA), CH (30 g/h glucose solution) group, CAF (3 mg/kg body mass) group, and CH + CAF (combined intervention) group. Participants underwent a series of tests, including the countermovement jump (CMJ), 20-m sprint (20 m), change-of-direction and acceleration test (CODAT), Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (Yo-Yo), free throw (FT) test, and straight-line dribbling speed (SLDS) test. Heart rate (HR) and blood lactic acid (BLA) levels were also monitored during the tests. The results revealed that, in the CMJ, 20 m, and CODAT tests, the CAF and CH + CAF groups outperformed the PLA group significantly (
