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

Introduction: The scientific and rational nature of volleyball coaches' pre-match tactical decision-making is crucial for enhancing athletes' performance and improving team tactical effectiveness. This study aimed to construct and preliminarily validate an indicator system for factors influencing volleyball coaches' pre-match tactical decision-making. Methods: Based on systems theory and sports training and competition theory, this study constructed the indicator system by combining the Delphi method and the Precedence Chart method. The validity and practical applicability of the system were examined through expert retrospective validation and a questionnaire survey. Results: The expert retrospective coverage rate was 80.6%, indicating that the system comprehensively reflected the key factors influencing pre-match decision-making. The refined indicator system included four primary indicators: Tactical Decision Execution System (0.4375), Tactical Decision-Making Subject System (0.3125), Match Evaluation System (0.0625), and Organizational and Information Support System (0.1875). It also included nine secondary indicators and 51 tertiary indicators. Spearman correlation coefficients for all levels of indicators indicated strong consistency, demonstrating a high degree of alignment between expert and grassroots coaches' decision-making perceptions. Discussion: This study provides theoretical support and a data-based framework for volleyball coaches' pre-match information collection, data analysis, and match planning. It also offers a reference framework for coaches' decision-making in other team sports.
