Reactive postural responses predict risk for acute musculoskeletal injury in collegiate athletes.
Article in Journal of science and medicine in sport, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Identifying risk factors for musculoskeletal injury is critical to maintain the health and safety of athletes. While current tests consider isolated assessments of function or subjective ratings, objective tests of reactive postural responses, especially when in cognitively demanding scenarios, may better identify risk of musculoskeletal injury than traditional tests alone.
objectivesExamine if objective assessments of reactive postural responses, quantified using wearable inertial measurement units, are associated with the risk for acute lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries in collegiate athletes.
designProspective survival analysis.
methods191 Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association athletes completed an instrumented version of a modified Push and Release (I-mP&R) test at the beginning of their competitive season. The I-mP&R was performed with eyes closed under single- and dual-task (concurrent cognitive task) conditions. Inertial measurement units recorded acceleration and angular velocity data that was used to calculate time-to-stability. Acute lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries were tracked from first team activity for six months. Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine if longer times to stability were associated with faster time to injury.
resultsLonger time-to-stability was associated with increased risk of injury; every 250 ms increase in dual-task median time-to-stability was associated with a 36% increased risk of acute, lower-extremity musculoskeletal injury.
conclusionsTests of reactive balance, particularly under dual-task conditions, may be able to identify athletes most at risk of acute lower extremity musculoskeletal injury. Clinically-feasible, instrumented tests of reactive should be considered in assessments for prediction and mitigation of musculoskeletal injury in collegiate athletes.
