Characteristics of shoulder range of motion, muscle tightness, and streamlined body position in Japanese female para swimmers with unilateral forearm deficiency and in swimmers with vision impairment: a comparative cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
[Purpose] To compare the characteristics of shoulder range of motion (ROM), muscle tightness, and streamlined body position in female para swimmers with unilateral forearm deficiency (UFD) to those in swimmers with vision impairment (VI). [Participants and Methods] Female Japanese para swimmers with UFD (n=7) and VI (n=5) were included. Limb circumference, shoulder ROM, lower extremity muscle tightness, gross muscle strength, and streamlined body position were measured. [Results] The maximum upper arm circumference of the deficient arm and shoulder ROM for dominant and deficient flexion, deficient extension, and dominant and deficient external rotation were significantly lower in swimmers with UFD than in those with VI. [Conclusion] Female para swimmers with UFD are characterized by decreased ROM of the shoulder on the dominant and the deficient arms, quadriceps tightness, greater dominant grip strength, and compensated streamlined body position compared to swimmers with VI.
