1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

[Purpose] This study investigated the relationship between the single-leg stance test with light touch and hip rotator muscle strength. [Participants and Methods] Thirty-one healthy young adults participated in the study. A single leg stance test with light touch was performed to evaluate the participants' static balance ability. The duration that an individual could successfully perform the single leg stance test with light touch in the eyes open was measured. The participants were instructed to slightly touch their right index fingertip on the digital scale. The hip muscle strength of the internal rotators and external rotators were measured by the isometric peak torque. The internal/external rotator strength ratio was calculated by dividing the strength of the internal rotator by that of the external rotator. [Results] The hip external rotator muscle strength was higher in males than in females. Moreover, there was a significant correlation between the single-leg stance test with light touch and hip external rotator muscle strength in males and between the single leg stance test with light touch and hip internal rotator muscle strength in females. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was found between the single leg stance test with light touch and hip internal rotator/external rotator ratio in males. [Conclusion] We concluded that the single leg stance test with light touch is a useful tool to evaluate static hip muscle strength.
