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

American collegiate football players (13 lineman; 14 non-lineman) underwent total body composition assessment using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry during August football camp in 2019 (Year 1/baseline); 2021 (Year 3); and 2022 (Year 4). Data were not collected in 2020 (Year 2) due to COVID. Main outcome measures included: total mass (TM); lean mass (LM); fat mass (FM); and bone mass, assessed as bone mineral density/BMD). Lineman had significantly more TM (124 ± 15 vs. 89 ± 15 kg;
