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

[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the relationship between motor skills and visual functions, such as instantaneous visual memory and spatial recognition ability. [Participants and Methods] A correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between six visual functions measured using a vision training system, and physical fitness test scores among 30 college students. The six visual function items measured were: "eye-hand/body coordination", "instantaneous visual memory", "spatial awareness", "peripheral perception", "central/peripheral perception", and "eye movement". The physical fitness tests included "grip strength", "long body forward bending", "repetitive horizontal jump", and "standing broad jump". [Results] Visual function showed a significant positive correlation with spatial awareness. In addition, among the physical fitness tests, spatial awareness was significantly positively correlated with repetitive horizontal jump scores. [Conclusion] Spatial awareness is the ability to visualize the positional relationship between moving targets and other objects from a bird's-eye view, and is a crucial ability in sports. Motor performance is largely associated with the ability to accurately grasp the positional relationships of objects in space, suggesting that spatial awareness may be another factor influencing motor performance.
