Effects of mental fatigue on psychophysiological responses, kinematic variables and technical actions in small-sided soccer games: a time course analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07644611 (Sleep, Mental Fatigue, and Performance), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
The study compares the effects of different cognitive task durations to induce MF on 4-a-side small-sided soccer games (SSGs) in psychophysiological responses, kinematic profile, and technical performance. Sixteen young soccer players (age: 15.2 ± 0.4 years) randomly performed the mental fatigue (MF) conditions (30-, 45-, and 60-min Stroop Task) and CON sessions (30-, 45-, and 60-min documentary) immediately before a 4-a-side SSGs (4 × 4 min, and 4 min rest). Kinematic profiles were analysed with GPS. Heart rate (HR), the rating of perceived exertion (RPE), MF visual analogue scale, enjoyment, and technical performance were assessed during SSGs. The manipulation checks revealed that players experienced increased MF levels in all MF inducement durations compared with the CON [30-min, CI
