Ischaemic pre-conditioning improves workload, fatigue and recovery in team sport: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial.

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
Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) is reported to improve performance, fatigue and recovery, yet evidence in team-sport settings remains limited. We examined the effects of repeated IPC on external workload, perceptual strain and recovery during ecologically valid Gaelic football training. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design, 13 male players completed two identical pitch sessions following IPC (3 × 5 min 220 mmHg occlusions; 48 h, 24 h and 30 min pre-session) or placebo. Global positioning system-quantified external load, and perceptual outcomes (fatigue, soreness, differential RPE [overall, cognitive/technical, breathing, leg muscle]) were obtained pre- and 0, 24 and 48 h post-exercise. Countermovement and drop jumps were assessed pre-, post- and 48 h post-exercise. Participants were naïve to both conditions. IPC resulted in larger very-high-speed running distance versus placebo (210.6 ± 220.9 vs. 81.6 ± 65.7 m; P = 0.046; effect size [ES] = 0.62; Bayes factor [BF
