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

Introduction: This study quantifies the isokinetic knee strength of elite male gymnasts and examines the relationship between concentric extensor strength, limb asymmetry, and countermovement jump (CMJ) height. Methods: A total of 18 elite male gymnasts participated in isokinetic strength testing, assessing concentric and eccentric actions during both extension and flexion of the knee at joint angular velocities of 60°/s, 180°/s, and 240°/s. Relative peak torque (RPT) of the knee flexors and extensors, the functional eccentric hamstring/concentric quadriceps (H Results: At an angular velocity of 180°/s, both an abnormal limb asymmetries in the concentric extensors was observed and the strongest negative correlation with CMJ height ( Discussion: Therefore, we recommend that gymnasts conduct regular isokinetic strength assessments, particularly focusing on concentric knee extensor strength and limb asymmetries, as they exhibit moderate to high correlations with CMJ height.
