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
Background: This study aims to investigate the effects of different external load magnitudes and carrying techniques on dynamic stability and work performance during fatigued rescue sprint tasks in firefighters, thereby providing theoretical and practical support for injury prevention and performance enhancement in firefighting rescues. Methods: A total of 126 professional healthy male firefighters performed 30-m rescue sprints under simulated fatigue in a 3 × 3 two-factor experimental design combining three external load magnitudes (10 kg, 20 kg, 30 kg) and three carrying techniques (shoulder-carry, bosom-carry, hand-carry). Results: External load magnitude had no significant effect on margin of stability in the medial and lateral directions (MoS Conclusion: It is recommended that firefighters choose carrying techniques based on specific load conditions: avoiding hand-carrying moderate loads, while shoulder carry for moderate to large loads, and bosom carry for small loads. Additionally, hip joint function training should be emphasised in daily routines to improve body control, reduce injury risk during rescue tasks, and enhance overall task performance.
