Performance and hormonal responses to different training modalities in young weightlifters: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundOlympic weightlifting is a sport that requires high levels of force production, technical skill, and intermuscular coordination. The effects of strength training during adolescence on performance, anaerobic power, and hormonal responses are critically important for athlete health and development.
methodsThis study investigated the effects of different strength training methods on snatch (SN) and clean & jerk (C&J) performance, anaerobic power levels, and selected hormonal parameters in young male weightlifters. A total of 32 male weightlifters participated in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: undulating strength training (UG) (age: 17.6 ± 1.6 years), serial strength training (SG) (age: 16.9 ± 1.3 years), maximal strength training (MG) (age: 17.3 ± 1.4 years), and a control group (CG) (age: 17.1 ± 1.2 years). The experimental groups underwent sport-specific strength training five days per week for eight weeks. The performance assessments included one-repetition maximum (1RM) tests for the SN and C&J lifts, whereas the anaerobic power was measured via the vertical jump test. Hormonal parameters were analyzed via a chemiluminescent autoanalyzer. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANCOVA to assess group × time effects.
resultsAll strength-training groups showed clear improvements in snatch and clean & jerk performance over the eight-week period, whereas the control group showed no meaningful change. Anaerobic power values remained largely stable, with no notable pre-post differences in any group. Hormonal analyses showed that insulin, GH, TT and TSH levels did not change substantially across the intervention, while IGF-1 levels decreased in the UG, MG and control groups; however, these fluctuations were similar across groups and did not reflect a distinct effect of any specific training method.
conclusionsDifferent strength-training approaches effectively improved snatch and clean & jerk performance in young weightlifters, whereas anaerobic power showed minimal change and hormonal responses were limited, with no protocol producing distinct endocrine effects; these results underscore the need to tailor strength-training programs to individual developmental profiles to support long-term performance and athlete health.
