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

Visuomotor reaction is a pivotal skill for athletes in ball sports. Training of such ability involves complex processing and coordination between cognitive functions and motor execution. Given the scattered literature on the topic related to task complexity, our study aimed to investigate the skill transfer effect among visuomotor tasks with different levels of complexity. Twenty-eight amateur ball players, with the mean age of 22.4 years old (SD = 1.9), were recruited and randomly assigned to either a simple or a complex visuomotor task intervention group, comprising bi-directional and multi-directional visuomotor training, respectively. Our study involved a four-week visuomotor agility training program. Visuomotor reaction times were recorded and analysed before and after the four-week intervention. The results demonstrated that both simple (F = 73.912; p < 0.01; ηp
