Intrarater Test-Retest Reliability of Hip Abduction, Internal Rotation, and External Rotation Strength Measurements in a Healthy Cohort Using a Handheld Dynamometer and a Portable Stabilization Device: A Pilot Study.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo investigate the within-day and between-day test-retest reliability of hip abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation strength measurements taken using a portable device externally stabilizing a handheld dynamometer in healthy participants.
designObservational study.
settingInstitute of Technology Carlow, Ireland, a third-level education institute.
participantsHealthy participants (N=18; 11 male, 7 female) who participate in a field sport for more than 2 hours per week were recruited via convenience sampling.
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresHip abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation peak force during a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (N). The 3 best values recorded for each movement for each day were used to analyze within-day and between-day test-retest reliability. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), coefficients of variance, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change statistics were also calculated.
resultsExternal fixation of a handheld dynamometer produced excellent test-retest reliability for within-day (ICC>0.934) and between-day (ICC>0.802) contexts.
conclusionsClinical measurements of hip strength can be performed reliably, efficiently, and cost effectively using the methods described. Furthermore, the use of external fixation eliminates the influence of tester strength on the handheld dynamometry measurements.
