The Effects of Acute Caffeine Supplementation in Combination with Postactivation Performance Enhancement on Performance and Fatigue in High-Level Male Volleyball Athletes.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: While both post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) and caffeine (CAF) independently enhance performance, their combined effects on physical performance and the levels of central and peripheral fatigue remain unexplored. Objectives: This study assessed the impact of the PAPE method and CAF supplementation on central and peripheral fatigue following a fatigue-inducing protocol in elite male volleyball athletes. Methods: The study employed a convenience sampling method to recruit 40 voluntary participants (18-30 y), who were then divided into 4 groups: PAPE group ( Results: Between-group comparisons revealed that the PAPE + CAF group demonstrated a significant improvement in the performance variables, including time to exhaustion, number of rounds, and serum dopamine concentrations, compared with all other groups ( Conclusions: This study confirms CAF's primary role in enhancing performance and reducing fatigue. The combined CAF + PAPE intervention provided a distinct advantage only for the number of rounds completed, but showed no significant benefit over CAF alone for time to exhaustion or most biochemical markers.
