The use of GPS and inertial devices for player monitoring in team sports: A review of current and future applications.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Player-worn devices, combining global positioning system and inertial monitors, are being used increasingly by professional sports teams. Recent interest focusses on using the data generated to track trainingload and whether this may lead to more effective training prescription with better management of injury risk. The aim of this review is to summarize the development and current use of this technology alongside proposed future applications. PubMed and Medline searches (2000-2017) identified all relevant studies involving use in team sports or comparative studies with other accepted methods. Our review determined that the latest devices are valid and reliably track activity levels. This technology is both accurate and more efficient than previous methods. Furthermore, recent research has shown that measurable changes in trainingload (the acute-to-chronic load ratio) are related to injury risk. However, results remain very sport specific and generalization must be done with caution. Future uses may include injury-prevention strategies and return-to-play judgement.
