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
Soccer is an intermittent sport that requires complex and well-adjusted physiological responses from athletes. The training load allows athletes to optimize physical adaptations and reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. In women's soccer, the implementation of load control and individualization strategies has shown promise for enhancing anaerobic performance and injury prevention. This study aimed to compare the performance levels of professional women's soccer players before and after the implementation of relative external load (RELC) for training prescription. Twenty-seven female professional soccer athletes (mean age 29.4 ± 6.2 years) were evaluated. Metrics such as total distance, sprint distance, number of sprints, accelerations, and decelerations were collected using the GPS-based device Catapult One (Catapult). Athletes were assessed in two games, with 6 months' difference between matches: Game 1, without RELC implementation, and Game 2, with RELC. Significant differences were found between both periods. Sprint distance increased from 391 m to 450 m (+15%, d = 0.49,
