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

Objective: In this study, we develop a tool that can be used by tennis coaches to evaluate the groundstroke (forehand and backhand) technique of preadolescent tennis players. Methods: The participants of the study were 60 children (30 males and 30 females) aged 10-12 years, with at least two years of training in tennis. The Groundstroke Correction Checklist (GCC) was translated into Turkish by using a blind procedure. The Turkish translation was then evaluated by 15 coaches of the Turkish Tennis Federation who had at least a level-3 coaching license and more than five years of coaching experience. The technical components related to technique in the checklist were labeled as unimportant, important, and very important. Following this, the GCC was converted into a Groundstroke Technique Assessment Test Tool (GTATT) by a selection committee consisting of three experts, and its reliability and validity were assessed by using it in the field. Spearman's correlation was used to analyze the correlation (test- Conclusion: A statistically high and significant correlation was observed between the technical evaluations of the players' forehand and backhand groundstrokes by the tennis coaches by using the GTATT in the first and second weeks (
