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

Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a significant challenge for young athletes in soccer and futsal. Dynamic knee valgus and ground reaction force are modifiable risk factors for non-contact injuries in the side cut movement that is frequently performed by athletes. The goal of this study was to contrast the effects of Stop-X and knee control protocols on kinetic variables of the side cut of futsal players with dynamic knee valgus. Forty-five male futsal athletes with dynamic knee valgus were randomly assigned to two training groups, including Stop-X (n = 15) and knee control (n = 15) groups, and a control group (n = 15). Dynamic knee valgus was recorded by placing a camera at a certain distance (230 cm) from the force plate and calculated with Kinovea software. A force plate was used to evaluate the ground reaction force (sampling rate: 1000 Hz). A significant decrease in dynamic knee valgus was observed in the training groups (P = 0.001, η
