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

The aims of the present study were to (a) analyze the relationship between acceleration capacity at low and high initial running speeds and the player's ability to cover high-intensity running distances and perform high-intensity accelerations during competition and (b) examine whether these differences also occur across playing positions in professional soccer players. A total of 222 professional male soccer players from LALIGA participated in the study during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons. Players were classified in six positions: central defender (CD), full back (FB), central midfielder (CM), offensive midfielder (OM), winger (W) and forward (F). K-means clustering was applied to classify players based on the maximal theoretical acceleration (A
