The Determinants of Performance in Biathlon World Cup Sprint and Individual Competitions.

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
Purpose: The present study aimed to determine the association of skiing speed (SS), range time (RT), and the number of missed targets (MT) with rank in sprint and individual biathlon competitions. Methods: Data were collected from the International Biathlon Union's database for 17 seasons (2002/2003-2018/2019). Furthermore, the biathletes were divided into three rank groups (G3, rank 1-3; G10, rank 4-10; and G20, rank 11-20). Multinominal regression was used to detect odds ratios associated with group rank for both sexes, separately. Results: MT was the only variable that was constantly related to G3 (OR 1.90-6.35, all Conclusion: These results show that shooting is the fundamental factor for performance in both competitions, but that SS is increasingly important for the last lap in the sprint for both sexes. Further, a fast RT in the standing shooting for women in individual and men in the sprint seems important for improving final rank.
