Trial reportJournal of athletic training
The reliability of portable fixed dynamometry during hip and knee strength assessments.
Trial report in Journal of athletic training. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
contextInsufficient lower extremity strength may be a risk factor for lower extremity injuries such as noncontact anterior cruciate ligament tears. Therefore, clinicians need reliable instruments to assess strength deficiencies.
objectiveTo assess the intrarater, interrater, intrasession, and intersession reliability of a portable fixed dynamometer in measuring the strength of the hip and knee musculature.
designCrossover study.
settingSports medicine research laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsThree raters (A, B, C) participated in this 2-phase study. Raters A and B tested 11 healthy college graduate students (2 men, 9 women) in phase 1. Raters A and C tested 26 healthy college undergraduate students (7 men, 19 women) in phase 2. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The dependent variables for the study were hip adductor, hip abductor, hip flexor, hip extensor, hip internal rotator, hip external rotator, knee flexor, and knee extensor peak force.
resultsThe phase 1 intrasession intraclass correlation coefficients for sessions 1, 2, and 3 ranged from 0.88 to 0.99 (SEM = 0.08-3.02 N), 0.85 to 0.99 (SEM = 0.26-3.88 N), and 0.92 to 0.96 (SEM = 0.52-2.76 N), respectively. Intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.57 to 0.95 (SEM = 1.72-13.15 N) for phase 1 intersession values, 0.70 to 0.94 (SEM = 1.42-9.20 N) for phase 2 intrarater reliability values, and 0.69 to 0.88 (SEM = 1.20-8.50 N) for phase 2 interrater values.
conclusionsThe portable fixed dynamometer showed good to high intrasession and intersession reliability values for hip and knee strength. Intrarater and interrater reliability were fair to high, except for hip internal rotation, which showed poor reliability.
