The overlooked risk in drop jump protocols: higher body weight as a catalyst for increased muscle damage.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine whether muscle damage induced by a drop jump (DJ) protocol differs based on individuals' body weight and body mass index (BMI) levels.
methods50 participants were categorized into two groups: normal weight (BMI: 20.50 ± 1.84) and overweight (BMI: 26.34 ± 2.59). DJ protocol was implemented. Group comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test, and associations between variables were assessed via Spearman correlation.
resultsNo significant difference was found in LDH-pre values between groups (p = .058). However, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were significantly higher in the overweight group both immediately post-exercise (p = .044) and at 24 h post-exercise (p = .010). As significant baseline differences in Creatine Kinase-pre (CK) values were identified, group comparisons were based on percentage changes. CK change ratios were significantly greater in the overweight group across all comparisons: pre/post (p < .001), 24 h/post (p = .013), and 24 h/pre (p < .001). Body weight correlated positively with CK levels at all time points (pre: p = .001; post and 24 h: p < .001), as did BMI (pre: p = .037; post and 24 h: p < .001). Similar positive correlations were observed between body weight and LDH (pre: p = .009; post: p = .001; 24 h: p = .037), and between BMI and LDH (pre: p = .031; post: p < .001; 24 h: p = .022).
conclusionsDJ protocol does not produce a uniform muscle damage response across individuals with different body weights and BMIs. Participants with higher body weight exhibited significantly greater enzymatic markers of muscle damage, suggesting that increased body weight and BMI may amplify mechanical load and physiological stress during plyometric activity. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Registration Date: 2025-06-23, Identifier: NCT07046598).
