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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine caffeine consumption and the factors that affect caffeine use in high school athletes.

methodsThree hundred and ninety-four Rhode Island high school athletes (age: 16.8 ± 1.27 years) completed a cross-sectional online survey to assess caffeine consumption. A multivariate logistic regression analysis and binary logistic regression were performed to characterize associations between use and nonuse and the independent variables of ethnicity, grade, sex, and sport played. 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for all models. Statistical significance was set to

resultsFifteen point five percent of the variance in caffeine use was related to ethnicity, grade, and sex(R

conclusionCaffeine use in young athletes is related to factors including sex and ethnicity. Given the prevalence of use, young athletes, coaches, and parents/guardians should be educated on the risks and benefits of caffeine use. Future research should focus on the potential benefits of caffeine use to athletic performance verses possible side effects in this population.
