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

Player-tracking systems provide vital time-motion and tactical data for analyzing athletic performance. Ultra-wideband (UWB) systems are promising for racquet sports due to their accuracy and cost-effectiveness compared to GNSS and optical systems. This study evaluated the accuracy of a UWB tracking system (GenGee Insait KS) for tennis-specific movements by comparing it with an optical motion capture system (VICON). Ten amateur players (International Tennis Numbers: 2-5) participated, performing seven exercises, including warm-up, agility drills, and tactical drills, with and without racquets. Raw data from both systems were processed to calculate the distances traversed. The average root mean square error between the two systems was 0.65 m (X-axis) and 0.76 m (Y-axis). Significant measurement discrepancies were observed (standardized mean difference: 0.86-1.95), except for jogging and walking exercises (
