Sport-specific experience modulates perceived exertion but not enjoyment or workload in recreational 3 × 3 basketball.

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 aimed to investigate the differences of previous basketball-specific experience on perceived exertion, enjoyment, physiological, and physical responses during recreational 3 × 3 basketball in active young adults. Twenty-four healthy male participants were divided into two groups: those with basketball experience (9.6 ± 4.5 years) and those with minimal or no experience (0.7 ± 0.9 years). All participants completed a 10-min recreational 3 × 3 basketball match following official FIBA rules. Heart rate responses were monitored using Polar H10 heart rate straps to determine the percentage of maximal heart rate (%HRmax), while perceptual responses were assessed through the modified Borg RPE scale (0-10) and the Exercise Enjoyment Scale (1-7). Physical demands were captured using inertial measurement units (Catapult) and included PlayerLoad/min, accelerations, decelerations, changes of direction, and jumps. Between-group differences were analyzed using t-tests for normally distributed data or Mann-Whitney U tests otherwise. No significant differences were observed between experienced and non-experienced players for %HRmax, enjoyment, or physical activity metrics (p > 0.05). However, non-experienced participants reported significantly higher RPE values than their experienced counterparts (p = 0.005; r = 0.68,
