Pathways for enhancing competitive ability of basketball players based on physical fitness training.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Basketball's high-intensity intermittent demands impose substantial and position-specific physical requirements on players. This study employed a non-randomized quasi-experimental design to assess physical fitness profiles of 48 provincial-level male basketball players, quantifying causal pathways between physical weaknesses and competitive performance limitations (R²=0.742). Following a 16-week structured intervention, the Specialized Training (ST) group (n = 24) demonstrated significantly greater improvements than the Traditional Training (TT) group in squat 1RM (+ 18.3% vs. +7.2%, Cohen's d = 1.24), Yo-Yo test distance (+ 22.1% vs. +9.8%, Cohen's d = 1.06), and game scoring (+ 15.2% vs. +5.9%); all between-group differences were statistically significant (P < 0.001). A position-differentiated, movement pattern-energy metabolism dual-track training system was developed and validated, with a physical-to-competitive transformation prediction model achieving cross-validation accuracy of 83.7%. These findings offer an evidence-based "diagnosis-mechanism-intervention-verification" framework for the systematic enhancement of basketball players' competitive ability.
