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.

Abstract

In the last decade, the subject of Physical Education has undergone significant transformations, exploring new teaching alternatives for students to acquire interest and enthusiasm for sport. The main objective of this descriptive study is to bring Touchtennis to schools as an innovative and alternative racket sport, which has attracted interest in the sports field. In terms of methodology, an intervention proposal is presented, designed for the subject of Physical Education, through a methodological sequence, in order to get to know the basic contents of the sport and to improve the physical, psychological, social and emotional components of the student. To date, Touchtennis lacks scientific evidence to support its effects. Consequently, a pedagogical proposal is presented in order to open up a promising field for future research, which could reveal its potential in the educational and sporting sphere. It is therefore essential that, on the basis of this research, empirical tests are carried out to analyse the effect of this sport.
