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

This study aimed to characterize the anthropometric, muscle power, and kinematic profiles of visually impaired sprinters (AVI) and their guides (GA) during the 100-meter dash. Three male guide pairs participated, all with national and international experience: Pair 1: AVI (T12); Pair 2: AVI (T11); Pair 3: (T11). Assessments included: (a) anthropometry, (b) lower-limb muscle power via countermovement jump (CMJ), and (c) kinematic analysis during an official 100-meter race using a global positioning system (GPS). GAs generally exhibited greater height, body mass, and longer lower limbs compared to AVIs. Except for Pair 3, GAs demonstrated superior CMJ performance and lower-limb power output. Peak running velocity (PV) was comparable across pairs, but AVI in Pair 1 and 2 achieved PV faster than their GAs. Pair 3 displayed pronounced asymmetries in instantaneous velocity and acceleration between AVI and GA during the race. The synchronization is influenced by experience duration, anthropometric compatibility, and muscle power disparities.
