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

(1) Background: This study aims to investigate the differences in body composition, muscle strength, and power between young karate athletes from different competitive disciplines. (2) Methods: The study sample consisted of 131 participants (69 boys and 62 girls) aged 10-14 years divided into three groups: kata (n = 48), kumite (n = 40), and athletes competing in both disciplines (n = 43). The set of variables included 1 anthropometric variable, 6 variables for assessing body composition (InBody 270), 8 variables for assessing handgrip strength (handgrip strength test, Fmax, RFD, absolute and relative, both hands), and 3 variables for assessing lower limb muscle power (force plate, CMJ height and power). Of the statistic analysis, MANOVA and ANOVA, along with MANCOVA and ANCOVA were performed. (3) Results: The adjusted results revealed significant general differences between groups (from
