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

Purpose: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a well-established exercise method, known for its effectiveness in improving various aspects of fitness. This study aimed to assess the effect of five distinct HIIT protocols, including Small Sided Games Long Interval (SSG(LI)), Long Interval (LI), Small Sided Games Short Interval (SSG(SI)), Short Interval (SI), and Sprint Interval Training (SIT), on aerobic, agility, vertical jump performance, sprinting abilities, and heart rate variability (HRV) in amateur soccer players. Methods: Forty participants were randomly assigned to one of five training groups, and a four-week training intervention was conducted. The pre- and post-training assessments included measurements of maximal oxygen uptake (VO Results: Results showed that all training groups demonstrated significant improvements in VO Conclusions: These findings underscore the adaptability of HIIT and its association with improvements in aerobic endurance, agility, and leg-specific vertical jumping capabilities across different training forms, while acknowledging that causation cannot be definitively established due to the quasi-experimental design.
