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

The announcement of Teahupo'o, Tahiti as the location for surfing events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games prompted a focus on performance research specific to female surfers. Following a 14-year absence of competitive female surfing at Teahupo'o, athletes and coaches expressed concerns about safety and wellbeing due to the physical and technical demands of sprint-paddling into such challenging and dangerous waves. This paper presents a methodological research approach designed to address these critical performance challenges in the lead up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The "Paddle-to-Podium" project aimed to enhance sprint-paddling performance in elite Australian female surfers, with the dual objectives of improving wave-riding performance and ensuring athlete safety during the event. A collaborative partnership was formed between Surfing Australia, Griffith University, the Queensland Academy of Sport, and the Australian Institute of Sport to establish a multidisciplinary team committed to supporting Australia's Olympic success in elite female surfing. The team implemented a four-phase applied research model to bridge the gap between scientific insights and practical application within the daily training environment, ensuring timely and impactful high-performance outcomes. The four phases were: (1)
