Effects of Plyometric Training on Lower-Limb Explosive Power and Its Retention After Detraining in Sprinters.
Trial report in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07484425 (Effects of Low, Moderate and High Drop Height Plyometric Training on Lower Limb Explosive Strength, Anaerobic Power and Change of Direction Performance in Competitive Soccer Players), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Lower-limb explosive power is crucial for sprinters and jumpers, directly influencing performance in speed and jumping ability. Traditional strength training approaches often fail to maintain explosive power in the long term, particularly after periods of detraining. Investigating training methods that can both enhance and sustain lower-limb explosive power is important for improving athletic performance. This study aimed to examine the effects of a 6-week plyometric training program on enhancing and maintaining lower-limb explosive power in sprinters. Forty male sprinters were randomly assigned to either an experimental (plyometric training) or a control (traditional strength training) group (age: 20.2 ± 1.6 years, height: 182 ± 6.2 cm, weight: 72.1 ± 5.3 kg). Training was conducted three times per week for 6 weeks, followed by a 2-week detraining period. Lower-limb explosive power was assessed using the mean power in the squat jump and countermovement jump, 30 m sprints, 100 m sprints, standing long jumps, and standing triple jumps at baseline, post-training, and after the detraining phase. A significant group-by-time interaction effect was observed for key performance indicators, including squat jump power (η
