Effect of accentuated eccentric loading countermovement jumps and drop jump training with ladder training versus ladder training alone on sprint performance and change of direction ability in futsal players: A randomized controlled trial protocol.
Trial report in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Futsal is a fast-paced, high-intensity 5-a-side sport that demands rapid sprints and frequent changes of direction (COD), critical for match performance. While ladder training is known to enhance agility and coordination, combined effects of accentuated eccentric loading (AEL), countermovement jumps (CMJ), and drop jumps (DJ) increase lower body power, it is unclear how these exercises work together to produce futsal-specific results. This paper presents the study protocol for a randomized controlled trial investigating the impact of AEL CMJ, DJ, and ladder training on sprint and COD performance in futsal players. This 6-week, parallel, single-blinded randomized controlled trial, in which outcome assessor will be blinded to group allocation. A total of 62 recreational and competitive futsal players (aged 18-30 years) from futsal turfs across Sawangi Meghe, Wardha. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive AEL CMJ, DJ, and ladder training or ladder training alone, 3 times per week. The primary outcomes are the between-group differences in sprint performance (30-meter Sprint Test) and COD ability (Agility T-Test) from baseline to post-intervention (week 6). In order to compare changes between time points and groups, Primary analysis will be conducted using linear mixed-effects models with participant-level random intercepts, following the intention-to-treat principle (CTRI/2025/04/085611).
