Reliability and Validity of a New Eccentric Hamstring Strength Measurement Device.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06460883 (Effects of Eccentric Banded Leg Curls Versus Eccentric Cable Leg Curls Exercises on Eccentric Knee-flexor Strength, Power and Endurance in Cricket Players), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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
objectiveTo investigate the reliability and establish validity of a new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device.
designA randomized double-crossover trial with intraclass correlation coefficients to analyze the outcomes. Participants attended 4 sessions, 7 days apart. They were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Session 1 was a familiarization session for all participants on the new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device and isokinetic dynamometer. The following 3 sessions were used to measure knee flexor (hamstring) eccentric strength on the isokinetic dynamometer and a further test-retest measurement using the new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device.
settingInstitute of Technology Carlow, third level educational institution.
participantsMale intercollegiate field-sport players completed the trial (N=19). Participants were 21±2 years, weighed 78.6±4.6 kg, and were 179.6±6.4 cm in height.
interventionsN/A.
main outcome measuresPeak torque (Nm) was recorded by the isokinetic device, and peak force (N) was recorded by the new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device and used to test for significant interdevice correlations (>0.7). Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated using the peak force recorded from 2 separate trials of the new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device.
resultsHigh test-retest reliability was observed from the new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device, intraclass coefficient (ICC)=.910 (confidence interval [CI], .76-.96) and .914 (CI, .78-.96) for left and right peak forces, respectively. Typical error of measurement between trials was calculated to be 14.65 and 17.29N for the left and right limbs, respectively. Minimum detectable change (MDC) was also calculated to be 40.62N (MDC%=14.68%) and 39.63N (MDC%=13.31%) for left and right limbs, respectively. The interdevice correlation showed good validity, ICC=.823 (CI, .58-.93) and .840 (CI, .58-.93) for left and right peak torque/forces, respectively.
conclusionsThe new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device is a reliable and valid device that provides an objective measurement of eccentric hamstring strength that may be used in combination with a comprehensive assessment to inform rehabilitation and management.
