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: This study investigates differences in performance demands and match characteristics between padel and tennis doubles. Method: Eight national-level male players (age of 27.0 ± 7.4 years, height of 186.3 ± 7.7 cm, body mass of 81.5 ± 10.7 kg, training frequency of tennis 4.8 ± 1.6 and padel 4.9 ± 1.4 h/week) participated in a total of 12 simulated matches, consisting of six tennis doubles and six padel sessions. The sessions were analyzed to assess various performance and physiological metrics. Match analysis focused on rally duration, strokes per rally, and movement characteristics, measured through standardized methods. Statistical comparisons were conducted using linear mixed models to identify significant differences between performance demands and match characteristics that define Padel and Tennis players. Results: Results indicate that tennis involves greater movement distances, higher speeds, more sprints, and longer rest intervals between rallies. In contrast, padel matches featured a higher total number of rallies, more frequent volleys and ground strokes, and longer play durations. All variables compared between Tennis and Padel showed statistical differences ( Discussion: These findings highlight the importance of sport-specific training regimens tailored to the unique requirements of each sport. Practical applications include optimizing training to enhance endurance and tactical adaptability for Padel players, while emphasizing explosive power and recovery strategies for Tennis athletes.
