Analysis of the effects of manipulating the space and number of players in small-sided games on the external load demands of futsal athletes in different age categories.

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
The study aim was to analyse the effects of manipulating the space and number of players in small-sided games on the external load demands of futsal athletes of different age categories. Fifty-six male futsal players from U15, U17, U19, and adult age categories participated. The study lasted 7 weeks. The first week was for familiarization and evaluations to characterize the sample. In the six subsequent weeks there were six futsal tasks T1 (GK + 2 × 2 + GK, 20 × 20 m), T2 (GK + 2 × 2 + GK, 40 × 20 m), T3 (GK + 3 × 3 + GK, 20 × 20 m), T4 (GK + 3 × 3 + GK, 40 × 20 m), T5 (GK + 4 × 4 + GK, 20 × 20 m), and T6 (GK + 4 × 4 + GK, 40 × 20 m). The external load variables were measured with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and kinematic (total and relative distance) and mechanical (total distance at high intensity accelerations and decelerations) data were extracted.
