The speed dynamics of different sprint and acceleration exercises applied during football training.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Sprinting actions are related to decisive moments of the match and impose severe fatigue levels on football players, and are often preceded by lower intensity running patterns or walking on the field. This study aimed to compare the effects of different exercise drills on speed and acceleration dynamics. Forty Under-19 and Under-23 soccer players participated in different sprint drill conditions, quantifying their distance covered in various speed intensities covering high-speed running and sprinting patterns and their peak acceleration. The speed drills were compared across different conditions: LS30m (30 m Linear Sprint), LS40m (40 m Linear Sprint), 15BR + LS30m (15 m Bounding Run + 30 m Sprint), 15BR + LS40m (15 m Bounding Run + 40 m Sprint), and CS30m (30 m Chasing Sprint). The results of this study showed significant differences regarding maximal acceleration between the lowest value 15BR + LS30m (5.62 ± 0.83 m/s
