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 primary goals of this study were to differentiate the offensive and defensive performances of starters and substitutes between high- and low-level teams in elite women's basketball. This study examined 432 players from 36 women's basketball teams who competed in the Tokyo Olympics, the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup, and the Paris Olympics. The rank-sum ratio was used to quantify and describe offensive and defensive performances of starters and substitutes, while the independent sample t-test, Pearson correlation, and Spearman Rho correlation were employed to test the differences and relationships between the various variables at a 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated that the offensive and defensive performances of both starters (r = 0.932) and substitutes (r = 0.848) had a significant correlation with the final rankings. Compared to high-level teams, low-level teams showed significant differences in points (p = 0.017), two-point (p = 0.015) and three-point (p = 0.000) shooting percentages, assists (p = 0.004), and steals (p = 0.040) for starters, as well as points (p = 0.033) and defensive rebounding (p = 0.027) for substitutes. Additionally, both starters and substitutes significantly correlated with points, two-point and three-point shooting percentages, defensive rebounds, and assists (r > 0.600).
