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

Introduction: This study examined the effects of video-based priming interventions on youth football players' performance prior to playing small-sided games (SSG). Methods: Twenty-four U14 players (age: 13.8 ± 0.4 years, football experience of 7.5 ± 2.3 years) participated in three conditions: (i) CONTROL (no priming), (ii) OFFENSIVE priming (a 4-minute video on progressive possession style leading to goals), and (iii) CREATIVE priming (a 4-minute video emphasizing innovative passes, dribbles, and shots). Tactical and physical performance were assessed using GPS devices, individual tactical performance using the Game Performance Evaluation Tool (GPET), and performance creativity using the CREATIVE Behavior Assessment in Team Sports (CBATS). Data were compared using the non-parametric Friedman ANOVA test. Results: The OFFENSIVE condition demonstrated reduced variability in distances to teammates ( Discussion: These findings demonstrate that video-based priming can influence tactical, technical, and creative behaviors in SSG. Coaches can leverage offensive priming to improve structured passing and positioning, while creative priming may inspire exploratory movements and innovative shooting attempts.
