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

Heart rate (HR) is a practical indicator of physiological load and arousal, yet its shot by shot relationship with tennis performance remains insufficiently characterized. We quantified associations between HR and stroke outcome and spatial accuracy during a standardized target based drill. The dataset comprised 8,197 shots from 23 players across 93 training sessions. HR was sampled at 1 Hz and temporally aligned to each shot using a fixed ±5 s window around the shot reference time, enabling the extraction of absolute HR levels, short term HR changes and HR intensity zones. Shot outcomes (successful/unsuccessful) and distance to the nearest target area corner were obtained using a camera based tracking system. Successful strokes were generally associated with lower HR levels (
