Open Source, Open Science: Development of OpenLESS as the Automated Landing Error Scoring System.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
contextThe Open Landing Error Scoring System (OpenLESS) is a novel tool for automating the LESS to assess lower extremity movement quality during a jump-landing task. With the growing use of clinical measures to monitor outcomes and limited time during clinical visits, there is a need for automated systems. OpenLESS is an open-source tool that uses a markerless motion capture system to automate the LESS using 3D kinematics.
objectiveTo describe the development of OpenLESS, examine its validity against expert rater LESS scores in healthy and clinical cohorts, and assess its intersession reliability in an athlete cohort.
designCross-Sectional.
participants92 total adult participants from three distinct cohorts: a healthy university student cohort (12 males, 14 females; age=23.0±3.8 years; height=171.9±8.3 cm; mass=75.4±18.9 kg), a post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) cohort (8 males, 19 females; age=21.4±5.7 years, height=173.5±12.5 cm; mass=73.9±13.1 kg; median 33 months post surgery), and a field-based athlete cohort (39 females; age=25.0±4.7 years, height=165.0±7.1cm; mass=63.5±8.6kg). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES(S): The OpenLESS software interprets movement quality from kinematics captured by markerless motion capture. Validity and reliability were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), standard error of measure (SEM), and minimal detectable change (MDC).
resultsOpenLESS agreed well with expert rater LESS scores for healthy (ICC2,k=0.79) and clinically relevant, post-ACLR cohorts (ICC2,k=0.88). The automated OpenLESS system reduced scoring time, processing all 353 trials in under 25 minutes compared to the 35 hours (~6 minutes per trial) required for expert rater scoring. When tested outside laboratory conditions, OpenLESS showed excellent reliability across repeated sessions (ICC2,k>0.89), with a SEM of 0.98 errors and MDC of 2.72 errors.
conclusionsOpenLESS is a promising, efficient tool for automated jump-landing assessment, demonstrating good validity in healthy and post-ACLR populations, and excellent field reliability, addressing the need for objective movement analysis.
