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

Sprint and endurance capacities seem to be mutually exclusive or at least at odds with each other. However, this relationship has not been investigated in soccer, which appeals to both well-developed sprint and endurance capacities. This study explores the potential of machine learning to identify soccer players based on their unique combinations of sprint and endurance capacities and sprint and endurance match-specific running performance. In this context, the relationships between sprint and endurance capacities and between physical capacities and match-specific running performance are examined in detail. Match-specific running data were collected from 31 young elite male soccer players over two consecutive seasons. Additionally, these participants underwent exercise testing, consisting of a 20-meter sprint test and an incremental treadmill test to measure maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O
