Nontraumatic Shoulder Pain Affects Proprioception and Dynamic Stability in Female High School Volleyball Players.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
contextNontraumatic shoulder pain (NSP) is common in volleyball, affecting performance and well-being. It is more prevalent in female players. Previous studies lack comprehensive assessments of shoulder pain that consider multiple factors, including range of motion, muscle strength, joint position sense, dynamic stability, and volleyball-specific mechanics.
objectiveTo investigate NSP prevalence in female high school volleyball players, considering shoulder joint functional parameters and volleyball-specific factors.
designCross-sectional study.
settingHigh school gymnasiums. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsFifty-nine female high school volleyball players (15-17 years). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Demographic data, environmental factors (years of experience, spiking technique, and serve type), shoulder joint function (passive glenohumeral joint's range of motion, muscle strength, joint position sense, and dynamic stability), and NSP prevalence during spiking and serving. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify significant factors associated with NSP.
resultsNontraumatic shoulder pain prevalence was 54.2%, with 68.8% not informing coaches. Significant associations were found between NSP and factors such as Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test-Medial (P = .008; odds = 0.892; 95% confidence interval = 0.82, 0.97) and joint position sense of internal rotation (P = .031; odds = 1.411; 95% confidence interval = 1.03, 1.93).
conclusionShoulder pain leads to impaired proprioception and dynamic stability. Effective communication between players and coaches is crucial for managing and preventing pain. Targeted training programs to enhance proprioception and dynamic stability may reduce shoulder pain and injuries. Educating players on the importance of reporting pain and encouraging early intervention is essential.
