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: This study aimed to test the contribution of trunk swing to the performance during fixed-seat rowing in eligible and non-eligible (NE) para rowers. Assessment of trunk swing is used to classify para rowers with physical disability in Para Rowing (PR) 1 and PR2 rowers. PR1 rowers are classified based on the demonstration of impaired function of trunk swing. Methods: PR1, PR2, and NE rowers participated. Rowing ergometers were used in two different fixed-seating conditions, resulting in either (1) restricted trunk swing or (2) unrestricted trunk swing during the rowing stroke. Participants performed maximal effort 500 m pieces (race pace) in each seating configuration. Force production at the handle and fixed-seat rowing-specific trunk extension force was measured. Rowing performance measures were compared using a repeated-measures general linear model, including condition and group and an interaction between condition/group. Results: Only PR1 rowers generated greater trunk extension force during the restricted condition compared with the unrestricted trunk condition ( Discussion: These results provide evidence-based reasoning for the classification of fixed-seat rowers. Contrary to PR2 and NE rowers, whose rowing performance was decreased due to trunk restriction, PR1 rowers' performance benefits from the trunk restriction.
