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: In badminton, lower limb injuries frequently occur during unanticipated smash landing movements. Additionally, the risk of lower limb injuries may vary depending on different landing strategies. This study aims to investigate the impact of unanticipated factors and two types of smash actions in the backhand area on lower limb biomechanics. Method: A motion capture system and force plates were used to collect biomechanic data of 13 female athletes (age: 21.2 ± 1.9 years; height: 167.1 ± 4.1 cm; weight: 57.3 ± 5.1 kg) during backhand rear-court jump smash (BRJS) and backhand lateral jump smash (BLJS) in both anticipated and unanticipated conditions. Unanticipated tasks were conducted by having the athletes perform a random number of specific badminton corner drills, followed by a random movement command given by a signboard and a shuttlecock being launched towards the left half-court by a machine. Waveform analysis was performed using Statistical Parametric Mapping, and discrete parameters were analyzed using a 2 × 2 repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The results indicated that under unanticipated conditions, both BRJS and BLJS led to higher vertical instantaneous load rates ( Conclusion: Unanticipated factors significantly impacted the biomechanics of both smash landing actions, potentially increasing the risk of ACL injuries. Moreover, unanticipated factors may increase the risk of ankle sprains during the BLJS movement.
