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 aimed to assess the physiological profile of the Norwegian National Taekwondo Team (ITF). Methods: Thirty-three athletes (Age = 20.8 ± 4.4), participated in the study, including 19 females (Age = 20.4 ± 3.4) and 14 males (Age = 21.6 ± 5.5). The athletes performed anthropometric and body composition, counter movement jump, maximal oxygen consumption (VO Results: Athletes demonstrated the following anthropometric and physical characteristics: weight (males: 72.7 ± 11.7 kg; females: 61.7 ± 10.5 kg), height (males: 179.2 ± 5.3 cm; females: 168.9 ± 8.5 cm), body fat (males: 9.5% ± 4.4%; females: 18.6% ± 4.9%), VO Conclusion: While physiological parameters show differences based on gender, they do not discriminate for competition level neither experience. Nevertheless, the Norwegian national team exhibit levels of physical and physiological conditions aligned with other elite athletes in other combat sports. The results provide valuable insights into the physiological levels that elite ITF taekwondo athletes should attain.
