Comparison of the temporal and technical-tactical characteristics in badminton men's singles under different competition formats.

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
Introduction: This study compared temporal structures, technical-tactical applications and scoring patterns between men's singles matches played under two formats at the 2024 BWF World Youth Championships: an individual event (21-point system) and a team event (11-point relay system). Methods: A total of 40 matches were analyzed, with 20 matches for each competition format. Each match consisted of two sets, resulting in a total of 80 sets containing 22,283 batting actions, and each batting action was treated as an independent analytical unit. Results: Team matches were substantially shorter in overall duration, with large reductions in total playing time, rest intervals and whole-game length. In contrast, no significant differences emerged for rally-level indicators-shots per rally, time per stroke or rest between rallies-indicating that competitive intensity within rallies remained comparable. Technically, individual matches featured more net-based strokes such as spinning net shots and lifts to create attacking chances, whereas team matches favored safer choices like drop shots and interceptions. Scoring patterns diverged accordingly: unforced errors dominated in individual matches, whereas forced errors were more prevalent in the team event. Discussion: The 11-point relay system therefore maintains rally intensity while shortening total match time, lessening physical load and heightening psychological demands. The findings offer empirical guidance for youth competition reform and coach education.
