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

(1) Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) implemented in physical education classes on adolescents' motivation for exercise. (2) Methods: This study involved 60 male adolescents (16.23 ± 0.6 years) recruited from a local high school who were randomly assigned to either the HIIT group or the control group (CG). The Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 (EMI-2) questionnaire was used to assess how participation in a HIIT program influenced the motivation to exercise among adolescents. The experimental program consisted of a 12-week HIIT program, integrated into the preparatory part of physical education classes. Sessions were held twice weekly, with each session lasting ~10 min. The HIIT group performed the Tabata protocol, which consisted of two 4 min sequences of eight different high-intensity exercises (burpees, split jumps, jumping jacks, push-ups, wall ball, crunches, frog jumps, and Russian twists), each lasting 20 s with 10 s rest intervals, separated by a 1 min recovery period. The control group conducted the traditional moderate-intensity warm-up exercises for the same total duration. After the warm-up protocols, both groups continued with the same physical education classes, which included a variety of instructional and moderate-intensity activities. (3) Results: A significant time × group interaction was observed for social recognition (
