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

This study investigated the effectiveness of a Visual Reaction Training System (VRTS) for improving badminton-specific footwork performance in U12 players. Thirty-four participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group and completed a six-week training intervention. Training effectiveness was evaluated using star-footwork tests under fixed and random conditions, with reaction time and total movement time as outcome measures. Mixed-design ANOVA and ANCOVA were used for data analysis. The results showed that the experimental group achieved significantly greater improvements than the control group in both reaction time and movement performance. A significant group × time interaction was observed for fixed-mode reaction time (F = 12.26,
