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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveStreetlifting is a developing strength sport derived from calisthenics and based on maximal external load performance in weighted pull-ups, dips, muscle-ups, and squat variations. Its rapid global expansion has raised interest in identifying sport-specific nutritional and recovery strategies that can support performance and health. However, scientific evidence directly focused on streetlifting remains limited. This narrative review aims to summarize current knowledge regarding body composition, nutrition, supplementation, and sleep in streetlifting athletes by integrating findings from related strength sports.

methodsA narrative review design was adopted due to the scarcity of empirical studies on streetlifting. Searches were performed using the terms "streetlifting AND nutrition," "streetlifting AND body composition," and "streetlifting AND sleep quality." Peer-reviewed studies involving comparable strength disciplines were included when directly applicable to performance or recovery determinants.

resultsPerformance in streetlifting appears strongly driven by strength-to-bodyweight ratio, supported by low-to-moderate fat mass and adequate lean mass. Evidence from resistance training literature suggests that meeting energy requirements, consuming 1.2-1.5 g/kg/day of protein, and using nutrient timing around training may enhance muscle protein synthesis and glycogen replenishment. Creatine supplementation shows consistent benefits for maximal strength and ATP turnover, whereas other supplements lack robust evidence. Sleep duration and quality contribute to neuromuscular recovery, endocrine balance, and cognitive readiness, though sport-specific findings are insufficient.

conclusionsStreetlifting athletes may benefit from integrated nutritional planning, evidence-based supplementation, and sleep optimization. Further sport-specific interventional and longitudinal studies are required to develop validated performance and health guidelines.
