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
Introduction: World Para Athletics classifies athletes with brain injury, cerebral palsy, and motor coordination impairments into Group Class 31 to 38. Para athletes who can run and jump but are affected by impairments such as athetosis, ataxia, and dystonia, which impact all four limbs and the trunk, are categorized as Class T36. Monitoring training load and performance is essential for guiding training programs and preventing injuries in this population. Vertical jumps are commonly used to assess neuromuscular parameters in athletes with cerebral palsy. In this study, we tracked performance changes and monitored vertical jump height and power over two competitive seasons in a sprinter with cerebral palsy. Case presentation/methods: The sprinter has had cerebral palsy since birth and is classified in the T36 class. Over two competitive seasons, his neuromuscular performance was monitored weekly using vertical jump tests, particularly Countermovement and Squat Jumps. His running performance was assessed through competition results. The parameters measured included Jump height and Peak power (W Results: The absolute and relative sprint performance values improved significantly between the first and the best official results: 100 m (from 15.05 s to 13.97 s = -7.1%), 200 m (from 31.30 s to 29.05 s = -7.1%); and 400 m (from 71.60 s to 66.24 s = -7.4%). The correlation between vertical jump parameters and sprint performance results was large to very large for the 100 m and 200 m events ( Discussion: The Para athlete demonstrated improved performance over two seasons and didn't sustain any injuries. These findings suggest that monitoring jump performance is a valuable and practical method for tracking training loads and predicting sprint performance. Further, longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the applicability of vertical jumps as a tool for coaches to monitor training load and performance across athletes with CP from various track classifications and event types.
