Anterior cruciate ligament injury risk according to sleep quality in female college students.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in female college students according to sleep quality and use this information to prevent injury.
methodsTwenty-six female university students were recruited for the present study. Participants underwent assessments for sleep quality, landing error scoring system (LESS), and electromyographic (EMG) activity for imbalances by comparing the muscle activity of the left and right rectus femoris (RF-to-RF) and biceps femoris (BF-to-BF) muscles.
resultsThe good sleep group exhibited significantly lower LESS scores (good sleep group: 5.13 ± 1.46, poor sleep group: 7.09 ± 1.38, p = 0.004). Additionally, the EMG activity of the RF-to-RF (good sleep group: 20.82 ± 20.29, poor sleep group: 41.74 ± 24.76, p = 0.019) and the EMG activity of the BF-to-BF (good sleep group: 27.09 ± 25.40, poor sleep group: 109.92 ± 93.43, p = 0.001) were significantly lower in the good sleep group. In all participants, a positive correlation was found between the PSQI total score and EMG activity of BF-to-BF (r = 0.446, p < 0.05), as well as the LESS score and EMG activity of BF-to-BF (r = 0.601, p < 0.01).
conclusionThis study demonstrated the relationship between sleep quality and ACL injury risk factors among female university students. We strongly recommend that these students improve their sleep quality to reduce and prevent ACL risk.
