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 study examined whether performance changes following a taper incorporating sleep-enhancing strategies differed according to the pre-taper fatigue level in elite swimmers. Physiological, psychological, and biomechanical parameters were assessed in twenty-seven elite swimmers at two time points to estimate pre-taper fatigue: T0 and T1 (10 and 3 weeks before the main competition, respectively). Race performance was officially recorded at T1 and during the main competition. Sleep-enhancing strategies included two sleep education sessions, five consecutive evenings of cryostimulation, and the use of a mattress topper with high thermal conductivity. Statistical significance was set at
