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
introductionCircuit resistance training is widely used to enhance physical performance. However, the acute-performance- and fatigue-related effects of exercise order and volume in circuit training, particularly between upper and lower limbs, remain unclear.
objectivesThis study examined acute velocity-based responses to different exercise orders and volumes during full-body circuit resistance training.
methodsThirty resistance-trained adults completed four circuit protocols: alternating exercises with maximal repetitions per exercise (A1), grouped exercises with maximal repetitions per exercise (G1), alternating exercises with 50% of maximal repetitions in the first round (A2), and grouped exercises with 50% of maximal repetitions in the first round (G2). Mean propulsive velocity (MPV) in the bench press and squat at 60% 1RM was assessed before and after each circuit.
resultsA significant main effect of Time was observed for both bench press and squat MPV (
conclusionsAlthough exercise order did not result in statistically significant differences, alternating configurations induced a greater magnitude of fatigue-related performance decline than grouped configurations, particularly in upper-body exercises.
