Dietary and nutritional supplementation strategies for table tennis athletes: a mini-review.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Table tennis (TT) has been defined as a fast and explosive aerobic sport. Athletes are required to move expeditiously around the table to catch the ball and produce a strong return. The body utilizes glycogen and fat stores as the primary energy sources. Furthermore, this sport demands that athletes possess not only explosive power, speed and endurance, but also anaerobic capacity. Consequently, these qualities are contingent on a combination of physical, technical and psychological attributes. TT demands a high level of concentration and technical proficiency from athletes, encompassing elements such as precise hitting, rapid responsiveness, and exacting control. This highly concentrated technical requirement will consume a significant amount of energy. A balanced and nutritionally adequate diet is essential for athletes, as it provides the energy and nutrients necessary to support their training and competition requirements. The present review is predicated on the physiological needs of TT, including energy consumption during training and competition, and the main metabolic pathways of TT. This paper provides nutritional suggestions for TT athletes. In addition to the hydration strategy, the daily intake guidelines of carbohydrate, protein and fat are also discussed. Micronutrients, including iron, magnesium and vitamin D, also provide their recommended intake.
