Biomechanical characteristics of the lower extremities during running in male long-distance runners with a history of medial tibial stress syndrome: a case control study.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundMedial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a running-related injury of the lower extremities. After returning to competition, there are often recurring episodes of MTSS. Therefore, it is important to prevent the onset and recurrence of MTSS among long-distance runners. This case-control study aimed to compare the kinematics and kinetics of runners with and without previous MTSS during running to clarify the biomechanical characteristics of the lower extremity of runners with previous MTSS.
methodsThirteen male long-distance runners aged over 18 years and asymptomatic at the time of measurement were divided into an MTSS group and a non-MTSS group based on their history of MTSS as reported in a questionnaire. The kinetics and kinematics of running were analyzed when participants ran at a speed of 2.0 ± 0.2 m/s by a three-dimensional motion analysis system and two force plates. Data regarding the joint angles, moments, and powers of the ankle, knee, and hip during the stance phase while running were extracted and compared between the two groups using the Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsOf the 13 participants, 5 and 8 were included in the MTSS (10 legs) and non-MTSS (16 legs) groups, respectively. The ankle maximum eversion moment was significantly larger in the MTSS group than in the non-MTSS group (p = 0.04). There were no significant differences in other parameters.
conclusionsThis study found that the ankle maximum eversion moment during the stance phase of running was larger in the MTSS group than in the non-MTSS group. Even after the disappearance of the symptoms of MTSS, the running biomechanics of participants with previous MTSS differed from those of participants without previous MTSS.
