1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Mental fatigue (MF) is characterized by a long period of low cognitive complexity or a short period of high cognitive demand, moreover, MF decreases accuracy in the sport. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the impact of MF on accuracy in Paralympic boccia (PB) athletes. A total of 11 PB athletes participated in the study, including 6 with cerebral palsy (CP) and 5 without CP. Each participant underwent three experimental conditions: MF, low cognitive effort (LCE), and control (C). All procedures were conducted at the athletes' training facilities. Accuracy was assessed following the experimental protocols. A generalized estimating equations (GEE) model was used to analyze the effects of time and condition. A significant time effect was observed for both the LCE (
