Modelling of ankle joint range of motion and landing quality scores in female soccer players with quantile regression approach.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
purposeAnkle dorsiflexion range of motion (DF-ROM) has been shown to be associated with poor landing posture. This study aimed to model the relationship between DF-ROM and landing quality during the Soccer-Specific Jump-Landing task (SSJL) on the non-dominant extremity in elite and amateur female soccer players using a quantile regression approach.
methods55 amateur and 47 professional female soccer players participated in the study. The relationship between DF-ROM and SSJL quality was evaluated using Pearson's product-moment correlation analysis and Quantile regression modelling.
resultsThere was a statistically significant negative correlation between DF-ROM and SSJL landing quality among female soccer players (r = - 0.33, p = 0.001). Moreover, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between DF-ROM and SSJL landing quality in amateur female soccer players (r = - 0.63, p = 0.001), no significant correlation was found in elite female soccer players (r = 0.22, p = 0.13). Quantile regression results for amateur female soccer players indicate that the association between ankle DF-ROM and landing quality is stronger in athletes with higher SSJL landing quality scores (e.g., Q75 and Q90) compared to those with lower scores (e.g., Q10 and Q25). This suggests that ankle DF-ROM plays a more critical role in achieving higher-quality landing techniques than in poorer techniques.
conclusionsHigher quality landing techniques in female soccer players are associated with larger ranges of ankle DF-ROM. Therefore, ankle DF-ROM level may be a functional clinical measurement for amateur female athletes in determining landing-related injury risk factors during SSJL.
