Influence of Hamstring Injuries and Vision on Posterior Chain Muscle Activation during Challenging Single-Limb Balance Control among Athletes with Hamstring Strain Injuries.

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
objectivesThis study investigated the impact of hamstring strain injuries (HSI) and vision on muscle recruitment and postural control in athletes with HSI.
methodsFourteen athletes with HSI and fourteen healthy controls performed a single-leg balance task under eyes-closed and eyes-open conditions while leaning to the maximum forward and backward. The root-mean-square electromyography (EMG), median frequency, and center of pressure (COP) trajectories were calculated for 15 seconds. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to assess differences between the groups and eye conditions.
resultsIndividuals with HSI exhibited lower hamstring activation during postural leans in the lateral hamstring (p = 0.009) during forward lean and both lateral (p = 0.001) and medial hamstring (p < 0.001) during backward lean. There were no significant changes in median frequency between the groups. Consequently, this resulted in a greater sway range and a larger 95% confidence ellipse area. The eye conditions primarily affected EMG frequency and COP parameters during leaning in both directions.
conclusionAthletes with HSI exhibit a persistent deficit in hamstring activation, adversely affecting their postural control. These muscle impairments may compromise balance control and may impact sports performance. Therefore, implementing balance training programs should be considered in clinical rehabilitation for HSI.
