Single-Session Video and Electromyography Feedback in Overhead Athletes With Scapular Dyskinesis and Impingement Syndrome.
Trial report in Journal of athletic training, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03252444 (Therapeutic Approaches for Subjects With Scapula Dyskinesis), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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
contextSubacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is associated with scapular dyskinesis, or imbalanced scapular muscle activity. Evidence has shown that feedback can improve scapular control in patients with SIS. However, it is unknown whether real-time video feedback or electromyography (EMG) biofeedback is optimal for improving scapular kinematics and muscle activity during a functional task.
objectiveTo compare the effects of video and EMG feedback sessions on absolute muscle activity (upper trapezius [UT], lower trapezius [LT], serratus anterior), muscle balance ratios (UT/LT, UT/serratus anterior), and scapular kinematics (anterior-posterior tilt, external-internal rotation, upward rotation) in SIS participants during arm elevation and lowering.
designRandomized controlled clinical trial.
settingResearch laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsOverhead athletes who were diagnosed with SIS and who also exhibited scapular dyskinesis (N = 41). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Three-dimensional kinematics and EMG were recorded before and after feedback training.
resultsLower trapezius muscle activity increased (4.2%-18%,
conclusionsThe EMG biofeedback improved muscle control and video feedback improved the correction of scapular upward rotation in patients with SIS. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03252444.
