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

Rowing performance depends on boat velocity and technical efficiency, varying across boat classes. We quantified intracycle velocity variation (IVV) during 2000 m competitions using a GPS- and accelerometry-based monitoring and examined its relationship with biomechanical variables. Forty-nine races were recorded during three national regattas, involving 206 experienced rowers (72 females). Boats were classified by discipline (sweep vs. sculling) and length (short vs. long). Boat velocity and position were recorded using GPS (15 Hz) and accelerometry (100 Hz). Sculling boats demonstrated higher average velocity and lower IVV than sweep boats (
