1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Dynamic warm-ups (DWs) are being increasingly used before athletic performance because of their perceived potential to promote readiness to play, enhance performance, and reduce injury across the recreational and elite athlete populations. There has been widespread adoption of warm-ups before athletic activity and evolving literature suggesting best practices including the role of static versus dynamic stretching and combination of pre-performance activities. DWs have gained traction as a preferred warm-up approach over static stretching because of the increased potential to improve athletic performance and reduce injury by enhancing the musculoskeletal, neurologic, cardiovascular, and psychological systems before performance. In this article, we aim to discuss the physiological and potential athletic performance benefits of DWs, key differences compared with prior widely adopted pre-activity static stretching, injury reduction benefits, and recommendations for implementing DWs into pre-athletic performance activities including crucial components of a multifaceted sport-specific approach. Level of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion.
