Biomechanical determinants of proficient 3-point shooters: markerless motion capture analysis.

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
Despite the growing recognition of 3-point proficiency as a defining element of modern basketball success, relatively few studies using markerless motion capture technology have examined the biomechanical characteristics that influence long-distance shooting effectiveness. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate differences in biomechanical characteristics between proficient and non-proficient 3-point shooters during both the preparatory and release phases of the shooting motion. Twenty-four male basketball players participated in this study, of which eleven were classified as proficient (≥50%) and thirteen as non-proficient shooters (<50%). Following a standardized warm-up, each participant attempted ten non-consecutive 3-point shots (6.75 m) from the top of the key. Biomechanical data were collected using a three-dimensional markerless motion capture system operating at 120 Hz. Between-group differences were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U tests and independent t-tests, depending on weather the variable violated or met the assumption of normality (
