Whole-body vibration as an effective sports competition warm-up: a randomized controlled trial in a young and healthy population.

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
Introduction: The long-term effect of training with Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) has been documented to have benefits on health, but its acute role in performance remains unclear. This study evaluated whether a 5-minute WBV warm-up could serve as an effective warm-up to optimize sport performance. Methods: Ninety-three participants healthy, active but not professional athletes, (23.6 ± 5.7 years) were randomized into three groups: control (CG), sham vibration group (SVG), and vibration group (VG). All participants completed tests at two time points (T0 and T1): countermovement jump (CMJ) the primary outcome, reaction time (RT), reactive strength index (RSI), and sit-and-reach (SRT). During assessments, superficial electromyography (sEMG) was recorded to explore potential neuromuscular changes associated with the interventions. Between T0 and T1, the VG performed a 5-minute WBV warm-up, the SVG completed the same warm-up without vibration, and the CG remained at rest. Results: VG improved in the primary outcome, CMJ (p < 0.01), SRT (p < 0.01), and RT (p < 0.01), while RSI remained unchanged (p > 0.05). SVG showed similar improvements (CMJ (p < 0.01), SRT (p < 0.01), and RT (p < 0.01), RSI (p > 0.05), whereas CG experienced a decline in RSI (p < 0.05). Between-group contrasts at the post-test endpoint for the primary outcome (CMJ) showed no statistical significance (all p > 0.05), a finding consistent across all other variables. Conclusion: The proposed 5-minute warm-up protocol, whether performed with or without whole-body vibration, effectively enhanced performance in sport-related tests without inducing a performance decrease. However, WBV did not provide additional benefits over the same warm-up performed without vibration.
