1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fatigue has been considered a risk factor for sports injuries, modulating full-body jump-landing biomechanics. Biomechanical assessments of jump-landing manoeuvres are typically performed before and after short-term fatigue protocols, but changes during the protocol are often neglected. Therefore, this study investigated spike jump-landing strategy alterations during and following a short-term fatigue protocol in volleyball. Forty-three healthy, adult, male volleyball players participated in this study. Three-dimensional full-body kinematics were collected when performing spike jump-landings before, during and after a short-term fatigue protocol specific for volleyball. Full-body sagittal plane joint angles were calculated and analysed with curve analysis using one-way repeated measures ANOVA and post-hoc paired sample t-tests to investigate fatigue effects (p < 0.05). A significant main effect of fatigue was found for all kinematic variables (p = 0.015-0.041). More specifically, more pelvis-trunk flexion and less hip, knee, and ankle (dorsi-) flexion were observed during and after the protocol compared to baseline (p = 0.001-0.003). Moreover, less hip and knee flexion was observed during the protocol compared to after fatigue (p = 0.001-0.005). In conclusion, significant kinematic changes were found with fatigue, and these were somehow more pronounced during fatigue, possibly due to decreased attention towards the jump-landing task execution. A decision tree was provided to help researchers, coaches and/or clinicians in determining whether screenings should be better performed during or after fatigue, based on practical considerations.
