Maximum strength development in martial arts and perception and awareness: new approach for training methods.

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.
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
The development of strength in combat sports is often studied independently of athletes' perceptions, despite its application in variable "open skills" contexts. While the literature highlights the impact of strength training on performance, limited research examines the link between strength improvement and athletes' awareness of associated psychophysical benefits. This study aimed to provide preliminary evidence exploring the relationship between the physical effects of a strength training protocol and athletes' perceptions and awareness. Twelve male Wushu Sanda athletes (16-27 years) with similar athletic characteristics participated. Pre-, mid-training, and post-testing measured one-repetition maximum (1RM) for Bench Press, Back Squat, and Deadlift, while questionnaires assessed perception and awareness. The training protocol consisted of 3 weekly sessions over 8 weeks. Statistical analysis (repeated-measures ANOVA/Friedman and Bonferroni/Wilcoxon
