The effects of 4 weeks of sport-specific repeated sprint training on upper-body strength quality, anaerobic capacity and punching ability of elite male boxers.

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
Background: Repeated sprint training (RST) effectively enhances lower-body performance, yet its effects on upper-body strength and sport-specific punching ability in boxers remain poorly understood. Purpose: To investigate the effects of a 4-week boxing-specific repeated sprint training intervention on upper-body strength, anaerobic capacity, and punching ability in elite male boxers. Methods: Sixteen elite male boxers were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG, Results: The EG showed large within-group improvements in Wingate peak power ( Conclusion: Incorporating three weekly sessions of boxing-specific RST into conventional training over 4 weeks significantly improved upper-body anaerobic capacity and produced practically meaningful enhancements in explosive strength and punching endurance in elite male boxers.
