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
Tennis requires the integration of physiological, technical, and cognitive abilities during intermittent high-intensity exercise; however, it remains unclear whether tennis-specific exercise induces different acute responses from duration-matched high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This randomized crossover study compared the acute effects of a tennis-specific exercise protocol (TSEP) and duration-matched HIIT on salivary biomarkers, working memory-related cognitive performance, and tennis-specific performance in 12 amateur competitive male tennis players (22.1 ± 1.6 years). Participants completed both protocols separated by a 7-day washout period. Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) were assessed before, immediately after, and 30 min after exercise, whereas salivary creatine kinase (CK) was assessed before and 24 h after exercise. Tennis-specific accuracy, auditory 2-back target detection accuracy, and separated and combined dual-task performance were evaluated before and immediately after each protocol. Dual-task costs (DTCs) were also calculated separately for the motor and cognitive components. Both protocols produced significant time-dependent changes in sAA and sIgA (both
