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

Introduction: Running related injuries (RRI) are common, but factors contributing to running performance and RRIs are not commonly compared between different types of runners. Methods: We compared running biomechanics previously linked to RRIs and performance between 27 recreational and 35 collegiate runners. Participants completed 5 overground running trials with their dominant limb striking a force plate, while outfitted with standardised footwear and 3-dimensional motion capture markers. Results: Post hoc comparisons revealed recreational runners had a larger vertical loading rate (194.5 vs. 111.5 BW/s, Discussion: Greater ankle joint contribution may be more efficient and allow for greater capacity to increase speed. Improving plantarflexor function during running provides a strategy to improve running speed among recreational runners. Moreover, differences in joint kinetics and ground reaction force characteristics suggests that recreational and collegiate runners may experience different types of RRI.
