Physical fitness in professional padel: performance differences according to players' gender and playing side position.
Article in Biology of sport, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The aim of this study was to analyse the differences in physical fitness between professional players according to their playing position (left or right side) and gender. Thirty players, 15 men and 15 women, were distributed in two groups: players playing on the right side (men n = 7; women n = 7) and the players playing on the left side (men n = 8; women n = 8). All players were assessed using a battery of anthropometric and physical performance tests, including measurements of body composition, maximal strength, aerobic capacity, speed and agility. The results showed significant differences in parameters such as weight, height and maximum strength according to playing position in male padel. Players on the left side showed higher muscle mass and strength values (one repetition maximum) in specific exercises (squat and leg curl), while those on the right side showed better results in vertical jump tests (countermovement jump and squat jump). In female players, moderate differences were observed in VO
