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

Contemporary football demands exceptional cognitive abilities alongside physical prowess, yet current training methodologies lack precision for optimizing cognitive performance through objective neural monitoring. This computational study develops and validates a theoretical multimodal neural feedback collaborative training system that simultaneously enhances executive function and tactical cognition in football contexts. The proposed system integrates electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, and physiological monitoring to provide real-time feedback during cognitive training protocols. Through computational validation utilizing synthetic neural signal datasets and algorithmic performance modeling, we evaluated the theoretical system's efficacy across executive function components (working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility) and tactical cognition domains (pattern recognition, strategic planning, decision-making). Computational results demonstrated significant theoretical improvements in executive function capabilities averaging 23.7% and tactical cognition enhancements reaching 27.8% compared to baseline algorithmic performance. The collaborative training approach consistently outperformed isolated training modalities in simulations, with large effect sizes (Cohen's d = 0.96 to d = 1.24, representing substantial theoretical effects) across cognitive domains. Neurophysiological simulations revealed enhanced theta-gamma coupling, increased alpha synchronization, and strengthened fronto-parietal connectivity patterns supporting improved cognitive performance. The mathematical frameworks and algorithmic validation establish theoretical foundations for understanding executive function-tactical cognition interactions while demonstrating the computational potential for neurotechnology-enhanced cognitive training. Future empirical studies with actual athletes are needed to validate these theoretical findings in practical settings.
