Effects of wearable resistance training on linear sprinting and jumping abilities in healthy populations: a systematic review and three-level meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate and analyze the effects of weighted resistance training (WRT) on linear sprinting and jump abilities in healthy populations through a three-level meta-analysis. Methods: We systematically searched five databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, SPORTDiscus, and Embase, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of WRT on linear sprinting and jumping abilities, with the search conducted from database inception until 1 May 2025. The quality of the literature was assessed using the Cochrane ROB2 tool and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale, whereas the quality of evidence was evaluated using GRADE. A three-level random effects model was implemented in R for the meta-analysis, along with an assessment of publication bias. Hedges' g and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for evaluation. Publication bias was examined using funnel plots and multilevel Egger's regression tests. Results: Ten studies, comprising 256 participants, were included. The meta-analysis results indicated that WRT significantly improved linear sprinting ability (95% CI: -0.558 to -0.027, p < 0.05), while no significant effect was observed on jumping ability (95% CI: -0.067 to -0.545, p = 0.118). Subgroup analyses revealed that WRT positively effected 10-m linear sprinting performance (g = -0.393, 95% CI -0.784 to -0.002, p = 0.049). Specifically, trunk WRT (g = -0.554, 95% CI -1.013 to -0.096, p = 0.020) and weights ≤10% of body mass (BM) (g = -0.495, 95% CI -0.884 to -0.107, p = 0.014) significantly improved sprinting performance. The GRADE assessment indicated that the quality of evidence regarding the effects of WRT on linear sprinting and jumping abilities was low. Conclusion: These findings suggest that WRT with trunk load and weights ≤10% of BM can enhance start acceleration (0-10 m) during linear sprinting. However, WRT did not significantly improve jumping ability.
