Effects of foam rolling and static stretching on ankle dorsiflexion and jumping ability: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Biology of sport, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This study aimed to assess the impact of a 5-week intervention that combined foam rolling (FR) and static stretching (SS) on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM). Furthermore, the study evaluated the influence of the intervention on leaping ability utilizing the counter-movement jump test (CMJ). Random assignment was used to allocate fifty-one amateur sports enthusiasts to either the foam rolling + static stretching (FR-SS) group (n = 22; age: 19.3 ± 6.87 years; height: 171 ± 7.91 cm; weight: 66.7 ± 9.52 kg) or the static stretching (SS) group (n = 29; age: 18.5 ± 4.60 years; height: 171 ± 11.5 cm; weight: 68.3 ± 16 kg). A baseline assessment (T0) and an assessment following the 5-week intervention (T1) were carried out. An inertial sensor was used to quantify the ankle joint ROM, and an optical detecting system was used to measure the CMJ performance. Significant differences were found between T0 and T1 in the FR-SS group. Significant group-by-time interaction effects (F = 14.44; p < 0.001, η
