Do stress symptoms impact handgrip strength and firearm shooting accuracy among military police officers?
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: The operations carried out by the Military Police (MP) in public safety and violence prevention, driven by the evolving needs of contemporary society, impose specific physical and psychological requirements on their personnel that are typically not encountered by the general population. In this context, factors such as exposure to violence, frequent risk of death, heavy workloads, challenging working conditions, and elevated stress levels associated with their missions are integral to the daily experiences of MP officers, rendering them one of the most vulnerable professional groups. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess whether the presence of stress symptoms impacts handgrip strength and firearm shooting accuracy among MP officers. Methods: The study included 24 third-year officer cadets stationed at the Espírito Santo Military Police Academy; all participants volunteered. Stress levels were measured using Lipp's Inventory of Stress Symptoms (LSSI), categorizing participants into two groups: those exhibiting stress symptoms (CE, Results: The average age of participants was 31.13 ± 2.49 years, with an average length of service of 7.71 ± 3.75 years and an average body mass index (BMI) of 25.58 ± 2.45 kg/m Discussion: The findings of this study indicate that, although the presence of stress symptoms led to variations in HGS during shooting position, it did not significantly impact shooting accuracy among MP cadets.
