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

Objective: Young soccer players need to enhance their athletic performance, including speed and endurance. Traditional training methods may not be effective enough to improve athletic performance in these young athletes. Velocity-based high-intensity interval training (vHIIT) workouts can increase the efficiency of energy systems and improve athletic performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of four weeks of vHIIT on athletic performance in young soccer players. Method: A total of 14 male soccer players participated in the study (mean age: 18.9 ± 1.0 years, body mass: 76.5 ± 5.3 kg, height: 1.81 ± 0.08 m). Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group ( Results: The findings indicated a significant decrease in COD time ( Conclusion: Four weeks of speed-based vHIIT training led to improvements in sprint performance, COD, and aerobic capacity in young soccer players. Incorporating vHIIT workouts into conditioning programs for youth soccer players may be an effective strategy for enhancing physical performance components, including speed, agility, and endurance, which are requirements of soccer.
