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

backgroundEnergy availability is recognized as an important factor for health and performance in athletes, yet data in male football players and its relationship with post-exercise recovery remain limited. This study aimed to examine the associations between daily energy intake, energy availability, and recovery outcomes in football players.

methodsNineteen outfield U21 players (

resultsMean daily EI did not differ significantly between match, training, and rest days (

conclusionInadequate fueling relative to training demands leads to reduced EA, particularly on training days, and is associated with a lower recovery profile. Monitoring EA alongside simple field-based markers such as RPE and PRS may help practitioners identify periods of suboptimal fueling and adjust nutritional strategies accordingly.
