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

backgroundCollegiate distance runners often suffer from running overuse injuries (ROI). The Y-Balance Test (YBT) has the potential to predict ROI risk in collegiate runners. PURPOSE: To investigate whether a preseason clinical assessment of dynamic balance, through a modified version of the YBT (mYBT), can predict risk of ROIs during one NCAA Division I cross-country (XC) season. STUDY

designProspective case-control study.

methodsParticipants from a Division I XC team were screened for mYBT performance in four directions: anterior (AN), posteromedial (PM), posterolateral (PL), and posterior (PO). ROIs were tracked over the course of the XC season. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis (α = 0.05) was utilized to investigate the effectiveness of the mYBT in predicting injury risk.

resultsNine (5 female, 4 male) of 29 runners developed an ROI during the XC season. Five components of the mYBT were found to predict injuries, including normalized nondominant PO score (AUC = 0.756, p = 0.03; RR = 1.90), AN raw difference and limb asymmetry (AUC = 0.808, p = 0.01), and PM raw difference and limb asymmetry in males (AUC = 0.958, p = 0.02).

conclusionSpecific components of the mYBT can help predict the risk of developing a running overuse injury over one Division I XC season. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Screening, Level 3.
