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
Introduction: Taekwondo is a complex combat sport requiring high levels of strength, balance, reaction time, attention, agility, and endurance for effective performance under rapid offensive and defensive conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of an 8-week plyometric training program on static balance (SB), dynamic balance (DB), reaction time (RT), and attention (AT) in adolescent female taekwondo athletes. Methods: Twenty female athletes (age: 14.85 ± 1.53 years; height: 162.27 ± 7.12 cm; body mass: 56.69 ± 6.45 kg) voluntarily participated in the study at Mardin Halit Demir Martial Arts Club. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (EG, Results: Significant group × time interactions were observed for static balance and dynamic balance ( Discussion: These findings suggest that plyometric training may effectively improve balance performance in adolescent female taekwondo athletes, particularly static and dynamic balance. However, no significant effects were observed for reaction time or attention. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to clarify the potential effects of plyometric training on cognitive performance.
