Effects of Kettlebell Swing Style and Mass on Female Hip Joint Kinetics.
Article in International journal of sports physical therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Kettlebell (KB) swing exercises, whether performed using shoulder height (SHS) or overhead (OHS) swing variations in therapeutic or strength and conditioning settings, are posterior chain dominant exercises that require hip extension contributions when performed correctly. Purpose/ Hypothesis: The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of swing style (SHS, OHS) and KB mass on hip extension kinematics and kinetics in young adult females. A secondary purpose was to determine the effects of swing style and KB mass on the forces applied to the total body center of mass and KB. It was hypothesized that velocity, power, and work would be greater for the OHS compared to the SHS, as well as for the heavier compared to the lighter KB's. Study Design: Crossover study design. Methods: Fifteen physically active females performed 15 swings under four conditions, SHS/12kg, SHS/16kg, OHS/12kg, and OHS/16kg, while three-dimensional dominant limb foot, shank, thigh, pelvis, and KB kinematic and ground reaction force (GRF) data were collected. Results: KB distance (95%CIDiff: 17.5-25.1 %BH), time (95%CIDiff: 0.067-0.023 s), and peak velocity (95%CIDiff: 0.56-0.74 m‧s-1) were significantly greater during the OHS (p<0.05). During OHS, significantly greater hip joint peak power (95%CIDiff: 1.6-4.1 W‧kg-1), work (95%CIDiff: 0.104-0.527), peak velocity (95%CIDiff: 7.6-40.5 °‧s-1) occurred compared to SHS, although the time and hip angular position of peak velocity and peak power were not statistically different between styles. Conclusions: These results may influence choices of KB progressions, suggesting that one may first consider changes in KB mass prior to changing from the SHS style to the OHS style. Level of Evidence: Level 3.
