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

Interpreting judo-specific fitness in young judoka requires practical field-based tests that reflect relevant neuromuscular and functional capacities. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the associations between field-based neuromuscular and functional indicators and Special Judo Fitness Test performance in young judoka. The sample comprised 36 judoka, including 27 male and 9 female athletes aged 15 to 22 years. Athletes were assessed during a beginning-of-season physical assessment session for body mass, stature, squat jump, countermovement jump, medicine ball throw without and with countermovement, judogi-grip dynamic pull-up, judogi-grip isometric pull-up, Y Balance Test score, and Special Judo Fitness Test performance. The SJFT total number of throws was treated as the primary outcome, whereas the SJFT index was treated as a secondary outcome. SJFT total was positively associated with squat jump (r = 0.670), countermovement jump (r = 0.637), judogi-grip dynamic pull-up (r = 0.514), judogi-grip isometric pull-up (r = 0.579), and Y Balance Test score (r = 0.501). Medicine ball throw performance was not significantly associated with SJFT total. An exploratory regression model including countermovement jump and judogi-grip isometric pull-up accounted for 46.7% of the variance in SJFT total performance after adjustment for model complexity (adjusted R
