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: Basketball practice for athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID) is an ancient activity that stimulates cognitive and motor performance domains. This study aims to verify the association between cognitive performance and motor abilities in basketball athletes with ID. Methods: A total of 23 participants with ID were screened on cognition (clinical reaction time and Bells test 30 s and 90 s), motor performance [handgrip strength test (HST), countermovement jump (CMJ), static balance], and anthropometry [body mass index (BMI) and skinfolds] in a cross-sectional design. Results: A Conclusions: These results suggest a positive correlation between cognitive and motor performance in basketball players with ID. These findings encourage further exploration of how sports interventions could ameliorate physical and cognitive health in individuals with ID.
