Impact of the Quadriceps Angle on Health and Injury Risk in Female Athletes.
Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The quadriceps angle, knowns as the Q-angle, is an anatomical feature of the human body that is still largely unknown and unstudied despite its initial discovery in the 1950s. The strength disparities between male and female athletes are largely determined by the Q-angle. In spite of a growing number of women participating in sports such as track, tennis, soccer, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, swimming, and softball, studies investigating injuries in this group are scanty. Even though the Q-angle has been the subject of many studies carried out all over the world, a review of the literature regarding its effects on health and injury risk in female athletes has not yet been completed. The aim of this review is to examine the crucial role of the Q-angle in the biomechanics of the knee joint and its effect on performance and injury risk, particularly in female athletes. Furthermore, we highlight the greater likelihood of knee-related injuries seen in female athletes being caused by the Q-angle. Athletes, coaches, healthcare professionals, and athletic trainers can better comprehend and prepare for the benefits and drawbacks resulting from the Q-angle by familiarizing themselves with the research presented in this review.
