Should GPS data be normalized for performance and fatigue monitoring in soccer? A theoretical-practical discussion on high-speed running.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
High-speed running (HSR) is one of the performance metrics of interest, as the volume of HSR during matches has been increasing over the last decade, which suggests that weekly training loads should be adjusted to align with this trend, enabling players to cope with match demands. However, the use of HSR thresholds lacks a solid rationale for their application and fails to account for individual player capacities, likely not reflecting their actual HSR efforts. As such, this theoretical-discussion provides important implications for training prescription, aiming to optimize performance and minimize fatigue. It emphasizes the significant differences in the conceptualization of HSR and highlight
