Article in Journal of sport and health science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07726810 (Effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability Exercises With and Without Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Balance, Proprioception, and Performance Among Badminton Players With Lateral Ankle Sprain), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAcute lateral ankle sprains (ALAS) are associated with long-term impairments and instability tied to altered neural excitability. Arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) has been observed in this population; however, relationships with injury-related impairments are unclear, potentially due to the resting, prone position in which AMI is typically measured. Assessing AMI during bipedal stance may provide a better understanding of this relationship.

methodsAMI was assessed in 38 young adults (19 ALAS within 72 h of injury: 10 males, 21.4 ± 2.7 years; 19 healthy controls: 10 males, 21.9 ± 2.2 years; mean ± SD) using the Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) during bipedal stance. Electrical stimulation was administered to identify the maximal H-reflex (H

resultsNo significant group-by-limb interactions were observed for any muscle. However, a significant group main effect was observed in the soleus muscle (F

conclusionThis study supports previous evidence of AMI in patients with ALAS, providing insight into neurophysiologic impacts of musculoskeletal injury. Our results suggest that assessing AMI in a standing position following acute injury may provide valuable insight into how AMI develops and guide potential therapeutic options to curb and offset the formation of joint instability.
