Muscle strength and power in young volleyball players: reference values and age group differences.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To date, there is a notable lack of comprehensive normative datasets that focus on youth volleyball players, which limits coaches' and practitioners' ability to objectively interpret individual test results, monitor longitudinal development, and distinguish normal maturation from training-induced adaptations. The study aims to establish reference values for muscle strength and power in young volleyball players across various age groups, and to determine age group differences. The sample consisted of 3,337 boys and girls aged 10 to 18 years. For assessment of muscle strength and power, the Hand Grip Strength test (HGS), along with countermovement jump without arm swing (CMJ), was implemented. To determine age group differences, one-way MANOVA and ANOVA with a Bonferroni post-hoc test were applied. The study results revealed the presence of significant age group differences in muscle strength and power in young volleyball players, in both males (F = 24.70, p < 0.001, η
