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

Increasing the accessibility and portability of precise biomechanical data to sports scientists can assist in making data-driven decisions. The purpose of this study was: (1) Assess the concurrent and convergence validity of discrete and continuous waveform biomechanics of a smartphone-based markerless system. (2) Assess test-retest reliability of the smartphone-based markerless system. Movements were recorded simultaneously with two iPhones using Uplift Labs computer vision software and with Qualisys, a 12-camera marker-based motion capture system. Each participant performed two evaluations, one week apart, consisting of two countermovement jumps. Nested Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LOA), mixed-effect linear regressions, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated. Twenty participants were included [Age: 24.7 (6.6) years. Height: 178.3 (4.3) cm. Mass: 86.5 (12.4) kg. Dominant Arm (Right): 17 (85%)]. Concurrent validity (LOA: 11.8 (4.4, 19.1)) demonstrated different results compared to convergence validity (Beta: 0.87 (0.68, 1.0)) and test-retest reliability (ICC: Uplift: 95.5 (90.9, 97.8). Qualisys: 94.4 (88.5, 97.3)). Uplift demonstrated greater than the a priori-determined limits of agreement across the CMJ. However, convergence validity was acceptable. Reliability suggests Uplift could be useful for tracking performance within individual athlete sessions.
