Determinants of pre-adolescent girls' sport performance in three-year swimming training.

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
Aims: The aim of the study was to identify which anthropometric, physiological, and respiratory parameters are the most important determinants of 400 m front crawl swimming performance among prepubescent, non-elite female swimmers. Materials and methods: The study group consisted of 14 swimmers (mean biological age at baseline: 10.52 ± 0.37 years; body mass: 34.99 ± 2.77 kg; height: 146.00 ± 3.05 cm). The study was conducted over three years. The swimmers followed endurance training recommended by the British Swimming Federation. Every six months, the following parameters were measured: percentage of body fat, anthropometric variables, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, respiratory parameters [vital capacity [VC], forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV Results: After accounting for multicollinearity, the most influential factors determining 400 m front crawl performance were foot dimensions, VC and % body fat. Other somatic and physiological predictors had a less of an impact on swimming performance. Conclusions: The 400 m front crawl performance among prepubescent girls is not determined by aerobic capacity but rather by foot length and respiratory indicators.
