Assessment of Muscle Synergies in Chronic Ankle Instability Patients During Unanticipated and Anticipated Landing.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Ankle sprains are a common injury among athletes and the general population, with chronic ankle instability (CAI) being a frequent complication. CAI patients often display altered neuromuscular control adaptations. This study analyzed muscle synergy patterns in 20 CAI patients during anticipated and unanticipated landing tasks to understand their neuromuscular adaptation strategies. Using Nesterov non-negative matrix factorization and K-means clustering, the study identified distinct muscle activation patterns. Results indicated that during unanticipated landings, the gluteus maximus and vastus lateralis showed increased activation weight, while the medial gastrocnemius was more active in anticipated landings. This study highlights that CAI patients display unique muscle synergy patterns during unanticipated landings, relying more on proximal muscles such as the gluteus maximus and vastus lateralis. This adaptation reflects the proximal muscle strategy to enhance stability and compensate for impaired ankle function in unpredictable situations.
