The post-activation performance enhancement effect of different plyometric training modalities on short-distance sprinting: An acute randomized crossover study.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of different plyometric training modalities [vertical jump plyometric training (VJ-PT), horizontal jump plyometric training (HJ-PT), and combined jump plyometric training (CJ-PT)] on post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) in short-distance sprint performance.
methodsA randomized crossover design was employed, with 12 participants (sex: male; age:19.6 ± 0.9; BMI:24.9 ± 3.85). recruited for this study. Participants underwent three training interventions: VJ-PT, HJ-PT, and CJ-PT. Each training protocol consisted of 2 sets × 6 repetitions of one of the jump training modalities. The Smart Speed system was used to assess 5-meter sprint performance pre-intervention and at 4, 8, 12, and 16 minutes post-training. Repeated-measures ANOVA and Pearson correlation analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0 and JASP 18.3.
resultsNo significant effects were observed for time (F = 1.43, p = 0.23), intervention (F = 0.32, p = 0.72), or interaction (F = 1.03, p = 0.41). However, VJ-PT demonstrated moderate effect sizes for 5-meter sprint performance across post-training time points, with larger effects observed at 4-8 minutes. HJ-PT and CJ-PT exhibited small negative effects, with no significant PAPE effects detected. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis indicated no significant associations between sprint performance and the time to peak PAPE after any exercise (P > 0.05).
conclusionThis study provides preliminary insights into the short-term effects of different plyometric-based conditioning activities (CAs) on short-distance sprint performance. Vertical jump plyometric training showed potential benefits, though findings are limited by small sample size and no control group. Horizontal and combined training did not produce significant PAPE effects, likely due to differences in time-to-peak and cumulative fatigue. Future studies should include a larger sample size, further investigate responses in both sexes, control for confounding factors, and use surface electromyography to clarify the interactions between CA types and recovery.
