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

backgroundThis research examined the impact of various creatine (Cr) supplementation formulations during a 4-week preparatory phase on the efficacy of repeated sprint training (RST) and on improvements in physical and physiological performance in male soccer athletes.

methodsA total of forty collegiate young soccer players volunteered for the study. They were randomly divided into four groups: creatine monohydrate (Cr-Mon,

resultsAll training groups improved physical and physiological performance following the 4-week intervention period (

conclusionsThe results underscore the importance of Cr ingestion in enhancing adaptations for short-term physical performance tasks, highlighting the effectiveness of the Ee and Hcl forms in further improving the CMVJ, 20-m sprint, L-run, and peak power among soccer players during the short-term preparation phase.
