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

This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated resisted sled training (RST) efficacy compared to unresisted sprint training (UST), alongside the moderating effects of sprint distance, sled load, and surface. Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and SPORTDiscus were searched up to May 2026. Risk of bias was assessed via the PEDro scale. Twelve studies (N = 324) were included. Data were analyzed using Correlated Robust Variance Estimation (CRVE). Overall, RST reduced sprint times compared to UST (Hedges' g = -0.250,
