Validity of the Handheld Dynamometer Compared with an Isokinetic Dynamometer in Measuring Peak Hip Extension Strength.
Article in Physiotherapy Canada. Physiotherapie Canada, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07251751 (Forward Versus Backward Gait Training on Functional Abilities in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 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.

Abstract
purposeTo determine whether the handheld dynamometer (HHD) is an appropriate tool to assess and quantify peak hip extension strength in prone standing position by (1) evaluating the concurrent validity of the HHD versus an isokinetic dynamometer (IKD), (2) establishing the minimal detectable change (MDC), and (3) determining the validity of single-trial versus multi-trial measures.
methodA convenience sample of 20 healthy adults was recruited for this cross-sectional study. Measures of peak hip extension strength were collected in prone standing position with both the HHD and the IKD and in supine position with the IKD.
resultsValues of r were 0.37 for HHD versus IKD prone standing and 0.51 for HHD versus IKD supine. MDC was 14.8 Nm for the HHD, 25.6 Nm for IKD prone standing, and 41.5 Nm for IKD supine. High correlations (r values of 0.92-0.94) were observed between trial 1 and the mean of three trials.
conclusionsThe HHD has moderate concurrent validity in measuring peak hip extension strength in the prone standing position in healthy adults. MDC for hip extension strength was lowest using the HHD. Single-trial values showed a high correlation with three-trial mean values.
