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

This study investigated the talent selection processes implemented in youth and adult national futsal teams. The initial database provided by the Portuguese Football Federation included 668 male futsal players, and statistical analysis was conducted with varying sample sizes. Binary logistic regressions were performed to determine the influence of futsal participation on the likelihood of achieving international status at the adult level. Subsequently, the age of first registration was plotted against the national team in which the first international appearance was recorded. Finally, the selection, re-selection, and de-selection of players from the under-17 youth national team to the adult team were described using frequencies and percentages. For the total sample, the results indicated that an earlier age at first registration, participation in the 1
