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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the Vernier Go Direct force plate against a laboratory-grade AMTI force plate during squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ) assessments. Forty physically active university students (20 males and 20 females) performed both jump tests while vertical ground reaction force was recorded simultaneously by both systems. A total of 28 force-time variables were analyzed (9 from SJ and 19 from CMJ). For SJ, all parameters demonstrated excellent agreement (ICC = 0.986-0.997; CCC = 0.986-0.997) with small biases ranging from -4.0% to 3.6%. For CMJ, the parameters also showed good to excellent agreement (ICC = 0.846-0.999; CCC = 0.845-0.999) and minimal biases (-3.1% to 3.3%). These findings support the validity of the Vernier Go Direct force plate for measuring vertical jump performance and can serve as a cost-effective alternative for dynamic strength assessment, applied sports science research, and physical education settings.
