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

Introduction: Traditional Chinese martial arts (Wushu) possess the potential to enhance both the psychological resilience and physical capacities of learners. Their effective implementation necessitates consideration of spatial and architectural features. This study investigates the impact of spatial-architectural determinants on the psychophysiological adaptation of Wushu practitioners within Chinese and European pedagogical systems. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative biomechanical assessments ( Results and discussion: Chinese training environments, characterized by high ceilings (>4 m) and specialized wooden flooring, correlated with superior flexibility (hip flexion: 142° ± 3.6° vs. 130° ± 3.8°;
