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
backgroundThe present study aims to examine the impact of badminton training programs on the attention and motor skills performance of students with specific learning disorders (SLDs).
methodsThe study was carried out with students at a public middle school. The study group consisted of a total of 44 volunteer students with SLD, with 22 participants in the experimental group (mean age 12.41 ± 0.90) and 22 participants in the control group (mean age 11.64 ± 0.49). Over a 12-week period, the experimental group regularly participated in two hours of badminton training per week in addition to their daily activities. Meanwhile, the control group was not included in any additional physical activity program and maintained their daily routines. Prior to the start of the study, information regarding the participants was recorded using a personal information form. The Bourdon Attention Test, Togu Balance Test, and Sit-and-Reach Flexibility Test were administered to the participants prior to the study and following the badminton training. To isolate the impact of differences in pre-test scores between the groups on the post-test, an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) for Repeated Measures was conducted.
resultsFollowing the 12-week badminton training program, a statistically significant difference was observed in terms of the pre- and post-test results for balance and attention performance in the experimental group (p < 0.05), while no statistically significant difference was found in terms of the pre- and post-test results for flexibility performance (p > 0.05). In the control group, no statistically significant differences were identified in the pre- and post-test results for any of the parameters (p > 0.05).
conclusionsIt can be concluded that the 12-week badminton training program is an effective method for improving static balance and selective attention skills in students with SLD. However, it is thought that more long-term or specific exercise content may be needed to achieve changes in flexibility.
