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

Aim/background: This study aims to identify the performance tests with the highest discriminatory power for distinguishing between starting and substitute female rugby players. Method: A total of 24 female rugby players, who regularly participated in official league competitions and engaged in structured training on a regular basis, voluntarily participated in this study. The players were divided into two groups: starting players (age: 25.83 ± 3.81 years, height: 165.17 ± 5.83 cm, body mass: 61.08 ± 5.00 kg) and substitute players (age: 26.08 ± 3.12 years, height: 163.75 ± 5.33 cm, body mass: 60.42 ± 4.52 kg). Wingate, sprints (30 m), squat jump test, visual reaction and VO Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between starting and substitute players in several performance variables, with starting players showing superior results in all performance tests, characterized by t-values ranging from 1.572 to 4.934, Conclusion: Maximum sprint speed and Wingate
