The effects of an 8-week Exer-Genie-assisted speed and ABC drill training program on speed, hamstring strength, and vertical jump performance in female football players.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07274566 (The Effects of an 8-Week Exer-Genie-Assisted Speed and ABC Drill Training Program on Speed, Hamstring Strength, and Vertical Jump Performance in Female Football Players), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeThe increasing physical demands of modern women's football necessitate integrated training approaches capable of simultaneously enhancing acceleration, force production, and neuromuscular control. Although devices such as the Exer-Genie® are frequently implemented in resisted sprint training, scientific evidence regarding their effectiveness in adolescent female athletes remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of an eight-week Exer-Genie®-assisted speed and agility-balance-coordination (ABC drill) training program on sprint performance, hamstring muscle strength, and vertical jump performance in young female football players.
methodsA total of 37 licensed female football players competing in the Turkish Women's Second League (mean age = 14.4 ± 1.4 years) voluntarily participated in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 17). The experimental group completed an Exer-Genie®-assisted sprint and agility-balance-coordination training program twice per week for eight weeks, while the control group continued their regular training. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included 0-10 m, 10-30 m, and 30 m sprint performance, hamstring muscle strength and impulse values, and countermovement jump performance.Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA.
resultsSignificant time × group interactions were observed for 0-10 m sprint time (3.9% improvement; F = 10.17, p = .003, η² = 0.038) and 30 m sprint time (3.8% improvement; F = 21.08, p < .001, η² = 0.020). Hamstring maximal strength increased by approximately 20% (left: F = 15.94, p < .001, η² = 0.03), while hamstring impulse improved by approximately 36% (left: F = 10.62, p = .002, η² = 0.05; right: F = 9.75, p = .004, η² = 0.03). No significant improvements were observed in lower-limb strength asymmetry.
