Comparative Study on Trunk Range of Motion in Land Balance Tests and Snow Skiing: Implications for Para-Alpine Sit-Ski Performance: A Cross Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: In the present study, we examined the effect of trunk range of motion (ROM) on turn performance in Para Alpine Skiing by comparing the ROM of the trunk on land with that of the trunk on snow in different classes. We attempted to clarify the relationship between impairment tests and athletic performance by examining the relationship between centripetal acceleration during skiing and trunk ROM, which is difficult to reproduce during athletic activities on land. Methods: Six male and four female skiers from sitting classes participated in this study. MRI images of the trunk and thigh were obtained. The ROM of the trunk was measured using the motion capture method during the Board Test on land and freeskiing on snow. Results: The ROM of the trunk in the Board Test increased with a lower degree of disability. However, there was no relationship between the ROM of the trunk on snow and the degree of disability. A number of lateral flexion angles during turns exceeded the ROM of the trunk on land. The magnitude of centrifugal force did not depend on the degree of impairment. The relationship between the centrifugal force and the lateral flexion angle was linear. Conclusion: The Board Test is an appropriate impairment test. During the turn, the body is passively moved because of the centrifugal force acting on it, a value that significantly exceeds the ROM of the trunk on land. The ROM of the trunk on snow was independent of the degree of disability.
