A Battery of Jump Tests Helps Discriminating Between Subjects With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability.
Article in Sports (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 purpose of this study was to assess whether a simple and reproducible battery of jump tests can distinguish between patients affected by chronic ankle instability (CAI) and control subjects. The hypothesis was that patients with CAI would demonstrate lower performance compared to healthy subjects during jumping tasks. Twenty-one young, active adults aged 18 to 45 years affected by CAI were matched for sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) to a control group of 21 healthy subjects without history of lower limb pathology. Jumping ability was instrumentally assessed by an infrared optical acquisition system using a test battery, including mono- and bipodalic vertical squat jumps, countermovement jumps (CMJs), a drop jump (DJ), and a side-hop test. Patients with CAI had significantly worse monopodalic CMJ, DJ, and side-hop test scores in their involved limb compared to the non-dominant limb of healthy individuals. Pathological limbs of CAI patients reported inferior results compared to non-dominant limbs of healthy individuals while performing monopodalic CMJs, DJs, and side-hop tests (
