Measures of functional performance and their association with hip and thigh strength.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 hip and thigh strength may increase an athlete's susceptibility to injury. However, screening for strength deficits using isometric and isokinetic instrumentation may not be practical in all clinical scenarios.
objectiveTo determine if functional performance tests are valid indicators of hip and thigh strength.
designDescriptive laboratory study.
settingResearch laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsSixty-two recreationally athletic men (n = 30, age = 21.07 years, height = 173.84 cm, mass = 81.47 kg) and women (n = 32, age = 21.03 years, height = 168.77 cm, mass = 68.22 kg) participants were recruited. INTERVENTION(S): During session 1, we measured isometric peak force and rate of force development for 8 lower extremity muscle groups, followed by an isometric endurance test. During session 2, participants performed functional performance tests. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Peak force, rate of force development, fatigue index, hop distance (or height), work (joules), and number of hops performed during the 30-second lateral-hop test were assessed. The r values were squared to calculate r (2). We used Pearson correlations to evaluate the associations between functional performance and strength.
resultsIn men, the strongest relationship was observed between triple-hop work and hip-adductor peak force (r(2) = 50, P ≤ .001). Triple-hop work also was related to hip-adductor (r(2) = 38, P ≤ .01) and hip-flexor (r(2) = 37, P ≤ .01) rate of force development. For women, the strongest relationships were between single-legged vertical-jump work and knee-flexor peak force (r(2) = 0.44, P ≤ .01) and single-legged vertical-jump height and knee-flexor peak force (r(2) = 0.42, P ≤ .01). Single-legged vertical-jump height also was related to knee-flexor rate of force development (r(2) = 0.49, P ≤ .001). The 30-second lateral-hop test did not account for a significant portion of the variance in strength endurance.
conclusionsHop tests alone did not provide clinicians with enough information to make evidence-based decisions about lower extremity strength in isolated muscle groups.
