The effects of muscle fatigue on shoulder proprioception and forehand stroke accuracy in Chinese elite table tennis athletes.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 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
This study explores the relationship between shoulder proprioception and landing point accuracy in Chinese elite table tennis athletes, particularly under fatigue conditions. A total of 19 male athletes participated, with their shoulder proprioception tested using an ISOMED 2000 isokinetic muscle tester. The tester measured proprioception acuity in both pre-fatigue and post-fatigue conditions, alongside performance in a hitting task assessed with a high-speed serve machine. Results indicated a significant correlation between proprioception and stroke performance, especially in internal and external rotation directions (p < 0.01). After fatigue, proprioception in both the racket-holding and non-racket-holding hands significantly decreased in internal and external rotations (p < 0.01 for both hands), with no significant change in vertical extension (VE). Additionally, the performance of the hitting task after fatigue significantly declined in the racket-holding hand (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that shoulder proprioception plays a crucial role in stroke accuracy and fatigue recovery, providing valuable insights for training, rehabilitation, and performance optimization in table tennis.
