Comparing The Effects of Singles vs. Doubles High-Intensity On-Court Tennis Training and Regular High-Intensity Interval Training on Aerobic and Anaerobic Performance Adaptations: A Randomized, Parallel-Controlled Study.
Trial report in Journal of sports science & medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Adopting specificity in practice, combined with conditioning, can be an especially effective approach to optimizing training for tennis players. However, little is known about the use of different tennis formats in conditioning drills. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of singles versus doubles high-intensity interval training (HIIT) tennis training on the aerobic and anaerobic performance of young tennis players, while also evaluating both formats against traditional off-court HIIT training. A randomized parallel controlled study was conducted with 48 male youth tennis players (16.8 ± 0.8 years). The intervention lasted 6 weeks and was carried out twice a week, with singles and doubles HIIT performed in match-play format without serving, while regular HIIT consisted of running (regHIIT). Measurements were taken at baseline and post-intervention, including the Wingate Anaerobic Test (to determine peak and mean power output and decrement), the Hit and Turn Tennis Test (to estimate maximal oxygen uptake, VO
