Three-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) performance in young soccer players: Age-related development and training effectiveness.
Trial report in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe aim of the present study is to examine the developmental trajectory of 3D-MOT performance in young soccer players, and to investigate the age-related 3D-MOT performance training effect.
methodsFirst, Experiment 1 assessed 3D-MOT performance of 404 male soccer players aged 12-18 years. Then, 127 athletes in Experiment 1 aged 13, 15, and 17 were selected as participants in Experiment 2, randomly assigned to intervention group and the control group. The intervention group but not the control group received 15 sessions of 3D-MOT training (3 sessions per day for 20 minutes for 5 days). Subsequently, post-test of 3D-MOT performance was conducted on the two groups.
resultsExperiment 1 showed that there was a significant main effect of age on the peak speed (p < .001,η² = .041) of 3D-MOT performance, with the performance of participants aged 15 significantly higher than that of those aged 13 (p = .018, d = -0.559). Experiment 2 revealed a significant main effect of the intervention, including peak speed (p < .001), average speed(p < .001),and speed threshold(p < .001), but the interaction between the intervention and the age group was not significant.
conclusionsThis research provide evidence that the 3D-MOT performance of young soccer players exhibits an increase between 13 and 15. Moreover, the results showed a significant training improvement in youth soccer players, but there was no significant relationship between the age-related development of 3D-MOT and the training effect in young soccer players. The above results provide new insights into soccer science and practice. Given the lack of data for those players younger than 12, this restricts the inference of whether there are potential sensitive periods. The study suggest that in the future, more evidence on athletes under the age of 12 be added to enhance the understanding of the full developmental trajectory of 3D-MOT performance in soccer players.
