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

Introduction: This study examined the relationship between preseason Neurotracker performance and sports performance in university varsity male ice hockey and female volleyball athletes. Methods: Neurotracker, a 3D multiple object tracking task, was used to assess perceptual-cognitive abilities. The association between these abilities and sport statistics was assessed through correlations. Results: 48 university varsity athletes completed a Neurotracker baseline assessment every preseason between 2019 and 2022, and competed in male ice hockey or female volleyball regular seasons. No significant correlations were found for all sports statistics in female volleyball athletes and male ice hockey except for total penalty minutes (r =  -,40, p < 0,05) and penalty minutes per game (r =  -,39, < 0,05) in male ice hockey. Discussion: The findings indicate that Neurotracker performance is not associated with sports performance. Further research would be interesting to explore more specific to perceptual-cognitive skills sports statistics in this context.
