The Relationship Between Hip Strength and Postural Stability in Collegiate Athletes Who Participate in Lower Extremity Dominant Sports.

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
backgroundLower extremity (LE) injuries are common across many sports. Both core strength (including hip strength) deficits and poor postural stability have been linked to lower extremity (LE) injury. The relationship between these two characteristics is unknown. PURPOSE: To explore the relationships between hip strength, static postural stability, and dynamic postural stability. STUDY
designDescriptive Cross-Sectional Study.
methods162 Division I student-athletes (111 males and 51 females) participated in this study. Isometric hip strength was measured using a hand-held dynamometer and both single-leg static (eyes open EO and eyes closed EC) and dynamic postural stability were assessed with a force plate. Pairwise correlations were calculated to examine the relationship between the hip strength variables and the postural stability scores for all subjects and separately for males and females.
resultsThere were no significant correlations between hip strength and dynamic postural stability for any of the pairwise correlations. Significant, albeit minimal, correlations between EO and EC static postural stability and each of the hip strength variables for all subjects and male subjects (correlation coefficients ranged from -0.19 to -0.34). However, there were only two significant correlations between hip strength and EC static postural stability (hip internal/external rotation) and one for hip strength and EO postural stability (hip internal rotation) found for female subjects (correlation coefficients ranged from -0.28 to -0.31).
conclusionThere was no relationship between isometric hip strength and dynamic postural stability; whereas, there were some relationships between the strength measures and static postural stability. These significant, but minimal correlations were observed in more of the comparisons within the male cohort potentially demonstrating a sex difference. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3b.
