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

This study investigated whether match outcome influences external training load in a rolling three-team small-sided game (SSG) format in semi-professional male football players. Twenty outfield players contributed valid GPS data across five training sessions consisting of repeated 6v6 rolling SSG bouts, where the winning team remained on the pitch and the losing team rotated out. External load variables, total distance (TD), accelerations (ACC), decelerations (DEC), and high-speed running (HSR) were measured using 10 Hz GPS and analysed using repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections, considering both absolute and time-normalised (per-minute) values. Accumulated total distance (TD; F = 18.04, p < .001, η
