Lower Extremity Kinematic and Kinetic Adaptations During a Half Marathon.
Article in European journal of sport science, 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
This study aimed to clarify the biomechanical adaptations recreational runners experience during a half marathon. Thirty-seven healthy runners completed a half marathon as fast as possible on a laboratory-instrumented treadmill. Kinematic and kinetic data were collected every 5 km from 0 to 20 km. As mileage accumulated, peak vertical ground reaction force (GRF) decreased from 5 km onward (p < 0.005) and impulse declined from 10 km (p < 0.05). Ground contact time increased from 10 km (p < 0.05). Joint-level adaptations included an increased hip extension moment (p < 0.005) and hip adduction angle from 10 km (p < 0.05), decreased knee abduction moment from 5 km (p < 0.005), and greater knee flexion angle at 10 km (p < 0.001) and 15 km (p = 0.031). Additionally, the symmetry angle of peak vertical GRF decreased at 20 km, suggesting improved interlimb symmetry under fatigue. These findings provide insight into fatigue-related biomechanical adaptations during long-distance running. Further research is needed to clarify how these changes relate to injury development.
