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

Elite karate performance depends on neuromuscular power, joint mobility, and postural stability, yet sex-specific biomechanical profiles in this population remain insufficiently characterized. This study examined differences in lower-limb explosive power, joint kinematics, and visual-dependent postural control in 28 international-level karatekas. Assessments included vertical jump tests, joint mobility tasks performed at preferred and maximum velocities, and stabilometric evaluations under eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions. Males demonstrated significantly longer flight and phase times across all jump tests (all
