What about applied kinanthropometry in wheelchair basketball? Proposal for anthropometric references in Spanish elite players.
Article in Sports medicine - open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDisability negatively impacts body composition due to muscle disuse in paralyzed or amputated limbs. This study aimed to describe and compare the anthropometric profile and body composition of professional wheelchair basketball players according to their functional classification. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, a non-probabilistic convenience sampling of professional wheelchair basketball teams competing in the Honor Division was performed. Anthropometric measurements were taken according to ISO 7250-1:2017 and the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) standard. Body mass, sitting height, arm span, six skinfolds, girth, breadth, and lengths were collected. SPSS version 27 was used for general descriptive analysis and by functional groups, and for inferential analysis and calculation of percentiles tables in men.
resultsFemales presented higher fat mass values than males. Between functional categories, differences were observed in weight, sitting height, and fat-free mass, with lower values in subjects with greater impairment. The percentiles of the variables weight, sitting height, arm span, total skinfolds, and fat mass showed an upward trend according to the functional category, being higher in the higher categories.
conclusionThe determination of body composition is a useful tool for addressing multidisciplinary strategies in the performance and prevention of injury of wheelchair basketball players.
