Acute effects of unilateral conditioning activity on unilateral and bilateral jumping performance and bilateral strength asymmetry.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The majority of motor tasks in sports are executed unilaterally, however research on the impact of unilateral conditioning activities (CAs) on both unilateral and bilateral sports tasks remains limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of isometric and plyometric unilateral CAs on unilateral and bilateral jumping performance. The study involved fifteen resistance-trained males who participated in three experimental sessions: 3 sets of 3 s of maximum isometric single-leg quarter-squats or 3 sets of 5 single-leg tuck jumps as CAs, along with a control condition without CA. Measurements of single-leg jump (SLJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ) were taken 5 min before, and at approximately the 3th, 6th and 9th minute after the CA. The analysis did not show any statistically significant interactions nor a main effect of condition or time (p > 0.05) for CMJ height and relative peak power. However, a main effect of time (p = 0.02) to increase non-dominant SLJ height from baseline to best post-CA time-point was found (+ 0.8 ± 2.5 cm; Cohen's d = 0.22). Neither isometric nor plyometric CAs significantly affected CMJ and SLJ performance. The observed increase in jump height for the non-dominant leg is likely due to motor learning rather than the effects of the applied CAs.
