Hip, Trunk, and Shoulder Rotational Range of Motion in Healthy Japanese Youth and High-school Baseball Pitchers.
Article in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe rotational range of motion (ROM) in the upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities is important for throwing motion. However, unlike for the shoulders, the differences relating to age and throwing-side in trunk and lower extremity ROMs in baseball pitchers are unknown. This study examined the effects of age and dominance on the ROMs of the trunk and upper and lower extremities.
methodsThe study included 356 young baseball pitchers aged 9-17 years who participated in off-season baseball camps. The subjects comprised 155 youth pitchers (aged 9-14 years) and 201 high-school pitchers (aged 15-17 years) who were able to throw at full force without pain. The neck, shoulder, trunk, and hip rotational ROMs on the dominant and non-dominant side were measured by well-trained physical therapists. The differences between throwing sides and between age groups were examined using two-way analysis of variance.
resultsShoulder external rotation on the dominant side was greater than that on the non-dominant side. Shoulder external and internal rotational ROMs were maintained regardless of age, whereas the trunk rotational ROM significantly increased with age.
conclusionsThe effects of age and dominance on ROMs of the neck, trunk, and upper and lower extremities in Japanese youth and high-school baseball pitchers were clarified. These data could be used as a specific reference and as target values for the rehabilitation of throwing injuries in young athletes.
