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

Australian football is a demanding contact sport where high training loads during the pre-season have been identified as a potential cause of non-contact injuries. The level of thiol-oxidised albumin, a marker of oxidative stress, might be related to the training load, and thus could be used to indirectly quantify the impact of training loads upon an athlete. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the level of thiol-oxidised albumin was affected by the pre-season training load in a team of professional Australian Football League (AFL) athletes and compare the effect of lower pre-season training loads caused by COVID-19 restrictions on the level of thiol-oxidised albumin. Forty-five participants collected daily dried blood spots in the morning prior to each training session to measure thiol-oxidised albumin using a novel methodology (OxiDx). Training load, which was operationally defined as the total distance covered during training as well as distance at certain velocities, and change of direction (COD), was measured using global positioning units. There was an association (R
