Reliability, Validity, and Sensitivity of a Specific Agility Test and Its Relationship With Physical Fitness in Karate Athletes.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of a developed specific karate agility test (SKAT) and to examine its relationship with physical fitness. A total of 36 karateka voluntarily participated in this study. During two separate sessions, international and national ranked athletes completed the SKAT by performing three changes of direction (CoD): two in a preplanned manner and one in response to a stimulus that was provided by a live tester (Light tester). Assessment of CoD, horizontal jumping ability, 5 and 10 m sprint time, and dynamic balance were also applied during these two occasions. To evaluate SKAT's construct validity, two groups were recruited based on their karate results: High- vs. low-ranked athletes. Reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the SKAT were examined from the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), smallest worthwhile change (SWC), and receiving operator characteristic analysis. Regarding relative and absolute reliability, the ICC of SKAT was excellent at >0.95 and the SEM was <5%. According to the sensitivity analysis, the power to detect small performance changes can be rated as
