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

Background: The hip thrust (HT) is a popular exercise, but its transfer to athletic performance is debated. We aimed to quantify the acute and long-term effects of HT training on performance. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of six electronic databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials. Data from 20 studies assessing the effects of HT training on strength, acceleration, and jump performance were synthesized using random-effects models to calculate pooled Hedges' g effect sizes (ES). Results: Acutely, the HT induced a moderate post-activation performance enhancement on sprinting (ES = 0.55), dependent on protocol ( Conclusions: The HT effectively builds exercise-specific strength, but these gains fail to transfer to squat strength or jumping. Acutely, it offers moderate, protocol-dependent PAPE on sprinting. Long-term, its independent sprint contribution is minimal and borderline-significant (per sensitivity analysis). Based on 'Low' to 'Very Low' evidence certainty, the HT is a valuable complement, not a replacement, for a complete athletic program. Registration: This review was registered on the OSF platform, registration number https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/AYFK3.
