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

Given the scarcity of basketball-specific stroboscopic visual training (SVT) research and the lack of a systematic synthesis linking training parameters to distinct categories of improvement indicators, this review retrieved studies on SVT in open-skill sports comparable to basketball published between 1997 and 2026. Through a narrative review, we analyzed cross-sport evidence relevant to any stage of the information processing model to examine the relationship between SVT parameters and post-training improvement indicators. Based on this synthesis, we propose a three-phase parameter framework for basketball, integrating basketball-specific measures to construct a hypothetical parameter-effect matching framework for SVT in basketball based on the information processing model. The aim is to summarize and analyze which SVT parameters can influence neurophysiological or cognitive-psychological indicators of athletic performance, map these influences onto stages of the information processing model, and develop a hypothesis framework to guide applications of SVT in basketball. The review found that SVT can improve three indicators associated with the information processing model: reaction time, decision-making accuracy, and motor control. However, the parameter recommendations for each phase of this framework represent trends derived from existing cross-sport research, and the specific parameter values await further validation in future basketball-specific studies.
