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

High-intensity functional training (HIFT) has gained prominence in athletic preparation; however, its specific efficacy in male Wushu athletes remains undetermined. In this randomized controlled trial, sixty athletes were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG) or a control group (CG). The EG undertook a structured 12-week HIFT intervention, comprising three 60-min sessions per week. The CG performed matched standard conditioning of equal duration and frequency, targeting 60%-70% HRmax. Physical fitness outcomes were assessed at baseline, week 6, and week 12, and data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations, with effect sizes expressed as model-based Cohen's d. Compared to standard training, HIFT elicited significantly greater improvements in push-ups, standing long jump, rope jumping, and 30 m sprint performance (all
