Patellar Tendon Properties and Unilateral Jump Performance in Junior Elite Volleyball Players With Patellar Tendinopathy.
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
Athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT) seem to have superior jumping performance compared to asymptomatic counterparts. However, previous studies have primarily assessed bilateral tasks which does not capture unilateral impairments. Hence, this study aimed to assess the patellar tendon properties and unilateral jump performance, and their associations in volleyball athletes with and without PT. Lower extremity injury assessment, patellar tendon properties using shear wave (SW) elastography and comprehensive jump performance analysis were performed. From 27 athletes (16 females) included in the study, 13 had unilateral PT. Three-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the influence of PT. Differences between asymptomatic and symptomatic athletes were examined using simple contrasts. Moreover, we explored associations between patellar tendon properties and performance. Jump performance did not differ between or within asymptomatic and symptomatic athletes. In unilateral PT, the painful limb had lower SW velocity compared to the non-painful limb with a mean difference of -1.7 m × s
