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

Fatigue is a multifactorial phenomenon involving central and peripheral mechanisms that could negatively affect performance-related measures in tennis players. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to quantify the effects of fatigue on physiological (e.g., blood lactate, heart rate), physical fitness (e.g., explosive muscle strength, speed), and stroke performance (e.g., stroke velocity or accuracy) related parameters in healthy tennis players and to provide insight into training and recovery strategies. A systematic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, and SportDiscus identified studies that examined effects of fatigue in tennis. Inclusion criteria required that studies were conducted with healthy participants, applied fatigue-inducing interventions, and used pre-/post-test designs measuring physiological, physical, or stroke performance related parameters. Effect sizes were calculated using weighted standardized mean differences (
