Article in International journal of sports physical therapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT06240949 (Comparative Effects of Positional Release and Manual Pressure Techniques of Tight Hip Flexors on Pain, Range of Motion, Lumbosacral Angle, and Disability in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from it

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

Background: Tightness of hip flexor muscles has been recognized as a risk factor for various musculoskeletal injuries in the lower extremities. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of two hip flexor stretching techniques (dynamic and hold-relax proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, HR-PNF) on hip extension (ROM), knee joint position sense (JPS) and balance in healthy college age students who exhibit tightness in hip flexor muscles. Study Design: Pretest-posttest randomized experimental groups. Methods: Thirty-six healthy college age students (mean = 22.37 years) with tight hip flexors participated in this study. Hip extension ROM, knee joint position sense and dynamic balance were tested pre- and post-stretching using a digital inclinometer, an iPod touch and the Y-Balance test, respectively. Subjects were randomly divided into dynamic and HR-PNF stretching groups. Three-way mixed analysis of variance was utilized to explore if an interaction existed between the groups in tested variables. Results: There was a significant effect of time on hip extension ROM in both groups ( Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated the effectiveness of both HR-PNF and dynamic stretching techniques which resulted in a significant acute improvement in hip extension ROM and dynamic balance measures, with HR-PNF being more effective than dynamic stretch. However, there were no significant improvements in knee joint position replication over time in either stretching group. Level of Evidence: 2b.
