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
This study aims to investigate the correlation between hand grip strength and athletic performance in badminton players using a flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor. Beginners (15 males) and national second-level badminton athletes (15 males) participate in three progressively challenging test scenarios: stationary single-technique continuous testing, stationary techniques combination testing, and footwork-based techniques combination testing. During each test, real-time handgrip data including grip force peaks, time-domain grip characteristics, and average grip force are collected using flexible piezoresistive sensors. These indicators are analyzed alongside technical performance scores to evaluate differences in grip parameters across technique levels, and correlations between grip metrics and performance outcomes. Compared to beginners, athletes demonstrate more precise, focused, and efficient grip force control in all testing scenarios(P < 0.05). Significant correlations are found between grip force peak or time-domain grip changes and technical scores in control-based techniques. However, in force-based techniques, correlations are not statistically significant, though significant differences between technique groups are observed. Hand grip strength parameters, especially grip control ability, may serve as effective indicators for evaluating athletic performance in badminton. Higher-level players have more refined grip control characterized by precision, concentration, and efficiency. This study expands the application of flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors in sports science and also offers a novel, quantitative approach for assessing badminton performance from a micro-level perspective.
