ANALYSIS OF RANGE OF MOTION IN FEMALE RECREATIONAL TENNIS PLAYERS WITH AND WITHOUT LATERAL ELBOW TENDINOPATHY.
Article in International journal of sports physical therapy, 2020. 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
backgroundIntrinsic factors including altered joint motion in the upper extremity may lead to altered biomechanics in tennis players and could result in symptoms of lateral elbow tendinopathy. PURPOSE: To compare upper extremity passive motion and elbow carrying angle between three groups of women: recreational tennis players with LET, non-symptomatic recreational tennis players, and a control group of non-tennis players. STUDY
designCross-sectional.
methodsA convenience sample of 63 women was recruited and placed into one of the three groups: non-symptomatic tennis players (NSTP), symptomatic tennis players (STP), and a control group. Elbow carrying angle, passive range of motion of the shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist were measured during a single session.
resultsA significant difference was found between the groups for wrist flexion (
conclusionImpairments including loss of shoulder internal rotation and wrist flexion and greater motion at the elbow and forearm were found in the UE of symptomatic tennis players. Evaluation of passive motion and muscle length should be performed prior to establishing a rehabilitation plan for symptomatic tennis players. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: 3.
