The Influence of the Inertial Motor Unit Location (Lumbosacral vs. Thoracic Regions) on the External Load Registered During Badminton Matches.

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
The use of inertial motor units (IMUs) to monitor external training loads during training and competition has grown, particularly in racket sports like badminton. Previous studies highlighted the influence of sensor location on external load measurements, with the lumbosacral region identified as optimal. However, IMUs are often placed dorsally between the scapulae. This study examined the impact of IMU placement (lumbosacral vs. thoracic) on external load recordings during two simulated badminton matches. Sixteen junior international-level players (10 males, 6 females) participated in matches designed to replicate worst-case scenarios (2 × 35 min, 15 min rest). IMUs located on the lumbosacral joint (L) and thoracic area (T) recorded data combining Ultra-Wideband and acceleration technologies. The results showed higher total and sprint distances in T than L (1.0-3.6%, pη
