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
The aim of our study was to evaluate changes in static and dynamic balance, shin muscle strength, active and passive ankle range of movement (ROM), and foot kinesthetic acuity during the first 8 weeks of the competitive season in male adolescent football players. Thirteen players (age 15.26 ± 0.93 years, Tanner stages 3-4) participated. Static and dynamic single-leg balance and foot kinesthetic sense were assessed using a stabilometric platform. Ankle plantarflexion-dorsiflexion and inversion-eversion ROM were measured with a goniometer. Peak isometric force of the ankle plantar flexors, dorsiflexors, invertors, and evertors was measured with a handheld dynamometer, and peak torque was calculated as force × lever arm length. Eight weeks of competitive period was associated with static balance improvement: mean anterior-posterior and medial-lateral sway speeds decreased bilaterally (
