Research on the visual search behavior and decision-making ability of basketball referees.

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: In sports, basketball referees have to face high pressure and time constraints, efficient visual search behavior and decision-making particularly important. Methods: This study compared different levels of experience (expert group, Results: The results showed that, compared with the non-expert group, the expert group had higher decision-making accuracy ( Conclusion: Our research indicates that there are significant differences in the visual search behaviors of basketball referees with different experiences. These data can provide valuable insights into the visual search patterns of basketball referees in real game environments and emphasize the importance of refereeing expertise for basketball referees.
