Mental fatigue and sleep restriction effects on perceptual-cognitive performance in trained beach volleyball athletes.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07644611 (Sleep, Mental Fatigue, and Performance), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
Introduction: Perceptual-cognitive skills are essential in sports such as beach volleyball. Mental fatigue (MF) and sleep restriction (SR) are known to impair athletes' perceptual-cognitive performance. This study aimed to analyze the effects of MF and SR on perceptual-cognitive performance in beach volleyball athletes. Methods: Fourteen volunteers participated (12 men; 17.9 ± 1.2 years; 182.0 ± 7.7 cm; 72.3 ± 8.4 kg) and were randomly submitted to four experimental conditions: (a) Control (CT), (b) MF, (c) SR, and (d) SR + MF. The MF cognitive load and SR duration were individualized in MF and SR experimental conditions. Perceptual-cognitive performance was assessed through two visuomotor tests utilizing LED light technology to simulate defensive and blocking actions within a real beach volleyball context. Visuomotor tests assessed reaction time (RT) measures. The Generalized Linear Models were applied to verify the main effects of the conditions for the perceptual-cognitive responses. Results: The results showed a significant condition effect for both the defense [ Conclusion: Therefore, we conclude that both the isolated and combined effects of MF and SR negatively impact RT in the defense and block visuomotor tests. This suggests that MF and SR conditions may impair athletes' ability to respond quickly to visual stimuli in different scenarios.
