Synthesis in European journal of sport science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07398547 (The Effect of Training Frequency on Explosive Strength in Adolescent Tennis Players During a Six-Week Functional Training Program), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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

Normative values for physical performance tests (PTESTs) offer insights into athletes' profiles on strengths and weaknesses to enhance performance and mitigate injury risks. However, such data for youth tennis players have not previously been compiled in a systematic review. We conducted a systematic review of 17 popular PTESTs covering speed, agility, strength, and power in healthy, competitive youth tennis players under the age of 8-18 years. A search for eligible studies indexed in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted on the 26
