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
This study aimed to (1) establish reference values for the match running performances of thirteen specialised positions at the men's UEFA Euro's 2024, (2) examine positional performances across various game periods and (3) add various layers of match context to the demands by combining physical, technical, tactical and individual information. All fifty-one games at the tournament were evaluated by analysing optical tracking data alongside match events. During matches, central and defensive midfielder subsets covered more total distance than other positions (P < 0.01; Effect Size [ES]: 1.4-3.1). Wide defender subsets in addition to attacking midfielders and forwards playing as a pair covered greater high-intensity running and sprinting distance (≥20.0 and ≥25.0 km · h
