Effects of Instruction-Guided Attentional Focus on Jump Performance in Women's Artistic Gymnastics.
Article in European journal of sport science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Instructions are a common part of training in many sports. The content of the instructions and how they are formulated is relevant for the effect on performance. For motor learning and skill development, instructions that initiate an external focus of attention are predominantly described as beneficial in the literature. We assume that an instruction-guided attentional focus causes an effect on jump performance depending on whether the instruction matches the imagery type. Twenty-nine female participants (M
