Effects of rhythmic auditory guide on sprint running.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Auditory guides can influence the tempo of rhythmic movements, potentially enhancing running performance by improving parameters. Many previous studies have focused on low-speed running, but there is a lack of research on high-speed sprint running. This study investigated whether a metronome-based rhythmic auditory guide could modulate sprint running motions. Twenty-two junior high school students participated in the study, performing three 40-meter sprint trials under different conditions: (1) without an auditory guide (baseline), (2) with a slow-rhythm auditory guide (3.40 ± 0.24 Hz), and (3) with a fast-rhythm auditory guide (4.16 ± 0.29 Hz). Step rate, step length, and sprint velocity were analyzed using video recordings. The slow-rhythm auditory guide significantly decreased the step rate and increased the step length compared with the baseline condition (p < 0.05). Conversely, the fast-rhythm auditory guide significantly increased step rate and decreased step length (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that rhythmic auditory guides can effectively alter step rate and step length during sprint running in junior high school athletes. This suggests that auditory stimulus training could be a useful tool for coaching.
