1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 examine differences in lower-body neuromuscular performance characteristics between ACL-injured athletes and their healthy counterparts, including peak take-off and landing force asymmetries. Forty-four semi-professional male soccer players volunteered to participate in the present investigation, from which 16 had previously undergone ACL reconstruction procedures and 28 were healthy controls. Following the warm-up completion, athletes performed three non-consecutive drop jumps (30 cm) with no arm swing while landing on a uni-axial force plate system sampling at 1,000 Hz. The injured athletes were screened nine months post-operative procedures and all athletes were active members of their respective soccer teams. The dependent variables included the force-time metrics within both the eccentric and concentric phases of the drop jump. Independent t-tests or Mann-Whitney U-tests were used to examine statistically significant (
