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
Background/objective: Muscular strength is a powerful marker of current and future health status. Standing long jump (SLJ) is a convenient, feasible, and common method of assessing muscle power, which has historically been measured among Chinese children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine temporal trends in SLJ performance among Chinese children and adolescents from 2000 to 2025. Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in six databases/web search engines (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus) up to August 1, 2026. Trends in means of SLJ were assessed using General Linear Models (proc GLM), with different adjustment and stratification strategies for sex and school grade. The systematic review included 88 eligible studies and reports, providing SLJ data for 6,233,940 participants for temporal trend analyses, and raw data from an additional 22,346 participants were collected to harmonise the number of test attempts. Results: SLJ performance declined among Chinese children and adolescents (effect size, ES) per decade [95% CI]: Conclusions: SLJ performance among Chinese children and adolescents has generally declined in recent decades. The decline was particularly marked among boys and high school students, indicating a narrowing of the sex and age gaps. These findings underscore the critical need for sex- and age-tailored interventions and programs designed to enhance muscular fitness.
