Investigating the isolated effects of a soccer-specific mental fatigue manipulation on different task types.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Mental fatigue negatively impacts athletic performance, but commonly employed tasks like the Stroop task often lack ecological validity. This study aimed to validate a modified, soccer-specific Footbonaut task as a mental fatigue manipulation and examine its effects on following tasks representing task-specific, near-, and far-transfer domains. Methods: A randomized, counterbalanced within-subject design was implemented with Results: Inconsistencies emerged between interaction effects and post-hoc tests, showing no clear negative effect of the manipulation on accuracy or response times. The employed mental fatigue manipulation did not differentially affect the three tasks, indicating a lack of transfer effects. Discussion: Although mental fatigue was not successfully induced by the sport-specific Footbonaut task, the findings emphasize the need for ecologically valid, innovative methods to better understand mental fatigue in sports.
