Analysis of dehydration and strength in elite badminton players.

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
backgroundThe negative effects of dehydration on aerobic activities are well established. However, it is unknown how dehydration affects intermittent sports performance. The purpose of this study was to identify the level of dehydration in elite badminton players and its relation to muscle strength and power production. METHODOLOGY: Seventy matches from the National Spanish badminton championship were analyzed (46 men's singles and 24 women's singles). Before and after each match, jump height and power production were determined during a countermovement jump on a force platform. Participants' body weight and a urine sample were also obtained before and after each match. The amount of liquid that the players drank during the match was also calculated by weighing their individual drinking bottles. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Sweat rate during the game was 1.14 ± 0.46 l/h in men and 1.02 ± 0.64 l/h in women. The players rehydrated at a rate of 1.10 ± 0.55 l/h and 1.01 ± 0.44 l/h in the male and female groups respectively. Thus, the dehydration attained during the game was only 0.37 ± 0.50% in men and 0.32 ± 0.83% in women. No differences were found in any of the parameters analyzed during the vertical jump (men: from 31.82 ± 5.29 to 32.90 ± 4.49 W/kg; p>0.05, women: from 26.36 ± 4.73 to 27.25 ± 4.44 W/kg; p>0.05). Post-exercise urine samples revealed proteinuria (60.9% of cases in men and 66.7% in women), leukocyturia (men = 43.5% and women = 50.0%) and erythrocyturia (men = 50.0% and women = 21.7%).
conclusionsDespite a moderate sweat rate, badminton players adequately hydrated during a game and thus the dehydration attained was low. The badminton match did not cause muscle fatigue but it significantly increased the prevalence of proteinuria, leukocyturia and erythrocyturia.
