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
Introduction: This study aimed to quantify the match-running performance of Vietnamese professional football players utilizing global positioning system (GPS) technology and investigate variations based on competition level and position and establish a composite performance score (CPS) framework for player assessment and categorization. Methods: A longitudinal observational study was executed throughout the 2024-2025 season, encompassing 57 official matches involving six professional clubs from V-League 1 and V-League 2, comprised 497 player-match observations from 160 outfield players. External-load variables were gathered utilizing 10 Hz GPS devices and encompassed total distance (TD), maximum velocity (Vmax), high-speed running distance (HSR), sprint distance and accelerations/decelerations. Statistical analyses included independent-samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA with Tukey HSD post hoc comparisons and correlation analyses. V-League 1 players displayed significantly greater HSR, sprint distance, Vmax, accelerations and decelerations ( Results: There were significant differences between positions for TD, TD/90, Vmax, HSR and sprint distance (all Background: These findings indicate that high-intensity locomotor capacity is an important physical determinant in professional Vietnamese football and that the CPS framework provides a practical multidimensional tool for performance profiling, individualized training and longitudinal athlete monitoring.
