Postural Control as a Risk Factor for Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Youth Female Basketball and Floorball Athletes.
Article in Scandinavian journal of medicine & science in sports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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 aim of this study was to investigate whether postural control was associated with an increased risk of future noncontact ACL injury in youth female basketball and floorball athletes. Data collection on 189 youth female basketball and floorball athletes was performed during a 3-year period. The modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT), single-leg drop-down test, and single-leg stance tests on a balance platform were used to measure postural control. In the mSEBT, performance in the anteromedial, medial, and posteromedial directions, as well as the corresponding composite score, were recorded. In balance platform tests, the mediolateral and anteroposterior velocity, velocity moment, and side length of a square representing 90% of postural sway were measured. Relative limb asymmetry and bilateral limb mean results for these variables were calculated and used as predictor variables in Cox regression analysis. Noncontact ACL injuries and individual exposure hours were prospectively recorded throughout the follow-up. Twelve noncontact ACL injuries occurred. Greater limb asymmetry in the posteromedial direction [HR 1.18 (95% CI 1.05-1.32)] and composite score [HR 1.17 (95% CI 1.01-1.36)] on the mSEBT were associated with an increased risk of noncontact ACL injury. No statistically significant associations were found in the other directions for the mSEBT or any of the balance-platform-generated variables. Dynamic postural control, measured by limb asymmetry in the mSEBT, was associated with future ACL injury. Prevention programs for noncontact ACL injury could benefit from exercises directed toward correcting limb asymmetries in dynamic postural control in youth female basketball and floorball athletes.
