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
We validated a wearable accelerometer and running watch for estimating peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) and cumulative weighted damage (CWD). First, 18 well-trained runners of equal sex distribution (3.3 ± 0.3 m/s habitual training pace) ran a range of speeds (2.7-4.0 m/s, plus training pace) on an instrumented treadmill as reference standard vGRF and wearable data were collected. Wearable data were inputted into a published equation to estimate peak vGRF. The wearable and equation systematically underestimated peak vGRF compared with the instrumented treadmill (mean bias: -0.22 BWs with LOA: -0.44 to 0.01; 9.4-10.1%RMSE). A linear regression model was used to derive a corrected equation to improve the estimate of peak vGRF. In the validation stage, the wearable and corrected equation were validated in 10 runners in an independent sample of equal sex distribution (3.2 ± 0.3 m/s habitual training pace) yielding excellent relationships and trivial errors for peak vGRF versus the reference standard (ICC
