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

Introduction: Aerobic and anaerobic capacity are considered key performance indicators in team ball sports. However, diagnostics focus on treadmill testing or linear sprints, not considering multidirectional change of direction and reactive agility. This study evaluated the validity of a novel multidirectional reactive agility test (RA test) to determine aerobic and anaerobic capacity in high-level female handball athletes. Methods: Fourteen first-team female handball players performed four all-out 150 m multidirectional RA runs on the SKILLCOURT. Maximum oxygen uptake (VO Results: Bland-Altman analyses revealed a mean difference in VO Discussion: The results support the suitability of a RA test protocol for directly measuring and estimating aerobic capacity (VO
