Increasing ecological validity in mental fatigue research-A Footbonaut study.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Past studies have mainly used Stroop tasks to induce mental fatigue in soccer. However, due to the non-sport-specificity of these tasks, their transferability to the real-life effects of mental fatigue in soccer have been questioned. The study's aim was to investigate the effects of two different versions (mentally less vs. mentally more demanding) of a soccer passing task in the so-called Footbonaut on cognitive and soccer-specific performance. Methods: A randomized, counterbalanced experimental within-subjects design was employed ( Results: Participants showed significantly worse soccer-specific performance in the experimental condition compared to the control condition. No corresponding effects were revealed in cognitive performance. Discussion: The findings suggest that cognitive-motor interference induced by 30-min Footbonaut technology-based training may induce mental fatigue in soccer players. Future studies should consider developing mentally less-demanding yet comparable control tasks.
