Predicting injury risk in young female volleyball players through movement and jump assessments.
Observational study in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The increasing prevalence of sports injuries among young female volleyball players, driven by biomechanical and hormonal factors, necessitates effective prevention strategies. Screening tools like the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) often show inconsistent predictive validity for injury risk in this population. This study investigates associations between FMS, SEBT, agility, and muscle strength with injury risk in young female volleyball players to refine prediction models and inform targeted interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study involved 30 female volleyball players (aged 14-18 years, mean age 16.2 ± 1.3 years, mean volleyball experience 3.5 ± 1.1 years) from a Turkish amateur club. Assessments occurred over 2 days after a 5-min warm-up, with 2-min rests between trials, conducted by trained evaluators. On day one: (1) Functional Movement Screen (FMS), scoring seven movement patterns (0-21); (2) Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), measuring reach in eight directions, normalized to leg length. On day two: (3) Agility Results: Significant differences emerged in FMS scores ( Conclusion: FMS scores, SEBT asymmetry, and CMJ heights effectively predict injury risk in young female volleyball players, with thresholds (FMS ≤ 14, SEBT ≥4 cm, CMJ < 30 cm) guiding targeted interventions. The study's focus on gender-specific risks and height-related biomechanics offers a foundation for tailored prevention programs, reducing healthcare costs and promoting equitable sports participation, aligning with global health priorities.
