An acute bout of foam rolling of the biceps brachii does not affect upper extremity sensorimotor function: a randomized trial.
Trial report in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo investigate the effects of single session foam rolling of the biceps brachii on upper extremity sensorimotor function including elbow proprioception, strength, and functional motor performance in healthy individuals.
methodsSixty healthy participants (mean age = 21.53 ± 2.80 years) were randomly assigned into the foam rolling group (FRG, n = 30) (mean age = 22.10 ± 2.98 years) (a single session of foam rolling to the biceps brachii muscle) or control group (CG, n = 30) (mean age = 20.97 ± 2.52 years) (no application). Proprioception [joint position sense (JPS) with an inclinometer, force sense (force reproduction) with a hand-held dynamometer], muscle strength (biceps brachii muscle strength with a hand-held dynamometer), and functional motor performance [modified pull-up (MPU) test, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability (CKCUES) test, and push-up test] were evaluated. Evaluations were done before and immediately after the single session application in a pretest-posttest design. We used the Student t-test to investigate between-group differences and we used the χ2 test for dichotomous data for analyses. We determined the significance level as p < 0.05.

conclusionsSingle session foam rolling of the biceps brachii has no effect on upper extremity sensorimotor function including elbow proprioception, strength, and upper extremity functional motor performance.
