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 analyzes sit-ski alpine skiing trajectories during gate-turning phases using an inverted pendulum model combined with an advanced kinematic testing system involving inertial sensors and drone video analysis. Data were collected from 11 elite sit-ski athletes during runs on a designated slope segment. The inertial sensor system showed static accuracy of 2° and an average deviation of 0.008 m, while drone video analysis had a mean relative error of 1.36% ± 0.94%. Analysis of 33 gate turns revealed a mean skiing distance of 13.61 ± 2.87 m and mean time of 0.88 ± 0.19 s, with significant positive correlation ([Formula: see text]< 0.05) between single-gate skiing time ([Formula: see text]) and the minimum distance ([Formula: see text]) ([Formula: see text] = 0.74,[Formula: see text]< 0.01) and lateral distance ([Formula: see text]) ([Formula: see text] = 0.73,[Formula: see text] = 0.01). Simulation with the inverted pendulum model yielded a COM trajectory length of 97.93 ± 2.31 m, 1.66 ± 3.61 m shorter than actual values ([Formula: see text] = 0.16), and a simulated time of 6.36 ± 0.64 s, showing strong consistency (ICC = 0.85 for time, ICC = 0.45 for trajectory length). These results confirm that optimizing the balance of turning radius, speed, and distance reduces skiing time, supporting the model's effectiveness in individualizing trajectory optimization for sit-ski alpine skiing.
