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
Introduction: Well-developed specific endurance performance in artistic gymnastics is a crucial foundation of successful performance. Therefore, the identification of effective training programs for gymnastics-specific endurance performance is an important factor. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on gymnastics-specific endurance performance and changes in energy supply during floor and pommel horse routines. Methods: Twenty-five male artistic gymnasts (age: 15.0 ± 1.5 years; weight: 51.2 ± 10.6 kg; height: 160.0 ± 10.4 cm) were allocated to either the experimental (n = 14) or the control group (n = 11). For 6 weeks, the intervention group completed a HIIT two times a week, integrated into the normal gymnastics training. The control group performed normal gymnastics training, including their routine programs for physical fitness development. Floor- and pommel horse-specific endurance performance was determined by the mean jump height in a repeated jump test and by the maximum number of circles in a circle test. Energy supply on the floor and pommel horse was calculated using mobile spiroergometry and the PCr-LA-O Results: The gain score analysis showed a significantly greater improvement in mean jump height for the intervention group, but no significant effect for the maximum number of circles. In terms of energy supply, the intervention group showed a significantly greater increase in aerobic metabolism on the floor and pommel horse. Additional correlation analyses show relationships between physiological parameters (O Conclusion: The results of the study show that 6 weeks of semi-specific HIIT can improve floor-specific endurance performance and increase the aerobic metabolism during floor and pommel horse routines.
