Sport-specific adaptations in body composition and vascular function: a comparative study of swimmers, tennis players, and wrestlers.

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
Objective: This study aimed to explore cross-sectional differences in body composition and vascular function across swimmers, tennis players, wrestlers and non-athletic controls, and to analyse correlations between sport discipline and physiological indicators. Methods: Fifty-seven participants were recruited, including 13 swimmers, 14 tennis players, 16 wrestlers, and 14 non-athlete controls. Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (InBody 370). Vascular function was evaluated via flow-mediated dilation (FMD), brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (baPWV, cfPWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI), and central hemodynamic parameters (CSBP, CPP, AIx@75, SEVR) using ultrasonic endothelial analysis and pulse wave velocity systems. Results: Athletes exhibited significantly lower body fat mass and percentage compared to non-athletes ( Conclusion: Athletes participating in different sports display divergent body composition and vascular phenotypes. Wrestlers tend to present lower body fat, whereas tennis athletes show more favourable vascular elasticity and endothelial function. These cross-sectional association findings provide reference for personalized exercise prescription formulation.
