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: Differential Learning introduces increased variability during practice to enhance motor skill acquisition. Methods: This study investigated the effects of Differential Training (DT) (Differential Training Group (DTG): Results: Linear mixed-model analyses revealed that DT improved two-point BJSAT relative to TT at post-test ( Discussion: These results indicate a superior efficacy of DT for improving shooting performance and managing perceived effort. The differential adaptation rates between mid- and long-range shooting highlight the value of movement variability in skill learning. However, limited transfer to SSG outcomes suggests further research is needed to optimize DT protocols for complex game contexts.
