A Comparison of the Plyometric Performance of Upper Limbs between Experienced and Non-Experienced Athletes.
Article in Sports (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Although explosive upper-limb movements are far less studied than the equivalent lower-limb movements, they are important in many sports activities. The goal of this study was to explore, for the first time, the performance of street workout (SW) athletes who primarily focus on explosive and isometric strength in the upper limbs and to examine the effect of the contraction type on performance during a classical upper-body movement. Eighteen men took part in this study (age: 22.6 ± 2.1 years, height: 179.6 ± 7.1 cm, bodyweight: 71.9 ± 6.6 kg). Of these, nine practiced SW and nine practiced various team and individual sports-the latter serving as the control group. The athletes performed three different types of push-ups-one in a concentric way and two others in a plyometric way-and a fatigue-inducing push-up set. Jump heights, myoelectrical activities (through electromyography), muscle architecture, and hypertrophy (through ultrasonography) were measured. The results show no significant differences in jump height between the push-up types. Both groups confounded, but the SW athletes jumped on average 66 ± 21% higher than the control athletes (
