Effects of Olympic Weightlifting and Weightlifting-Derivative Training on Vertical Jump Performance in Recreationally Trained Individuals: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.
Review in Applied bionics and biomechanics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Olympic weightlifting (OW) and weightlifting-derivative training are widely used to improve explosive performance. However, the relative effectiveness of OW-related training compared with other commonly used training interventions remains unclear. Therefore, this study used a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare and rank competing training interventions for vertical jump performance in recreationally trained individuals. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus were searched from inception to February 3, 2026. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving recreationally trained adults were included. Eight studies involving 233 participants (221 males and 12 females) with intervention durations ranging from 6 to 10 weeks were eligible. Primary outcomes included countermovement jump height (CMJ-H), CMJ power (CMJ-P), squat jump height (SJ-H), and SJ power (SJ-P). A fixed-effect network meta-analysis was conducted to compare these outcomes. Results: Eight RCTs involving 233 participants were included, and six studies (188 males) were eligible for network meta-analysis. OW-related training significantly improved CMJ height compared with control, plyometric training (PLYO), and traditional resistance training (RT) (mean difference [MD] = 2.21-2.54 cm). Similarly, OW-related training significantly improved SJ height compared with control, PLYO, and RT (MD = 2.83-4.48 cm). For CMJ-P, OW-related training was superior to RT (MD = 3.22 W·kg Conclusions: OW-related training appears to be an effective strategy for improving vertical jump performance in recreationally trained individuals, particularly for CMJ height and SJ height. Based on the available evidence network, OW-related training demonstrated relatively consistent positive effects across jump-height outcomes and may be considered a viable training option for enhancing lower-limb explosive performance.
