Sport-specific demands on sustained attention in elite athletes: a novel within-subjects approach for investigation.

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
Background: Research has primarily examined between-group differences in athletes' cognition, and particularly sustained attention. More nuanced approaches are needed to better characterize athletes' attentional abilities. Objective: To examine associations between sport type and traditional Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) indices, and to apply a novel method to characterize within-person fluctuations in sustained attention performance. Methods: Participants were 198 elite athletes from a regional sport training and development organization in Toronto, Canada ( Results: Using a pre-established sport classification system, team sport athletes were significantly more accurate on the SART than speed-strength ( Conclusion: Different sports may place distinct demands on specific dimensions of attentional performance. Within-person approaches are warranted to advance the field toward more precise assessment of athletes' cognitive functioning.
