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
Introduction: It's important to maintain high propulsive velocity and to avoid severe velocity loss during power-aimed resistance exercises. However, it is hard to measure velocity loss in a timely manner without special devices. This study examined the validity of using ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) as velocity loss marker in power back squat (BS) with different repetition settings. Methods: Seventeen trained males performed three BS tasks with low, medium, and high repetitions at 65% of their one-repetition maximum. RPE, surface electromyography, and concentric velocity were assessed across all conditions. Peak root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MDF) were calculated from the surface electromyography data. Results: Significant effects were observed across experimental conditions for average RPE and average velocity loss, ( Discussion: RPE was a significant predictor of velocity loss within individuals (
