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: The present study aimed to compare pacing patterns among the best international level senior, junior, and youth biathletes in both sexes during a biathlon sprint competition, while also accounting for overall performance level. Methods: Skiing speed and shooting performance were analysed from international biathlon sprint competitions held at the same venue, including senior, junior, and youth biathletes ranked 1-30 and 31-60. Relative skiing speed (SS Results: During lap 1, senior women and men demonstrated slower SS Conclusion: The present results suggest that senior biathletes exhibit more even pacing than junior and youth biathletes across laps and sections. A similar pacing pattern was also observed among higher-performing male biathletes. Although shooting performance was associated with subsequent pacing, its influence remains unclear and warrants further investigation. Monitoring pacing during training and competition may therefore help biathletes to develop more effective pacing strategies and improve skiing performance in biathlon.
