The effect of virtual and augmented reality training on soccer players: a systematic review of cognitive-motor performance.
Review in Biology of sport, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This review provides a critical analysis of the findings from studies that investigated the effects of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) training on the cognitive and sensorimotor skills of soccer players. A systematic search was conducted to identify studies reporting pre-post intervention outcomes related to (1) cognitive performance measured in traditional laboratory tasks, (2) cognitive-motor skills assessed with on-pitch tasks (e.g., heading), and (3) various self-report measures. The search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science and SPORTDiscus databases, using the keywords
