Lower Limb Biomechanical Observations in Hypermobile Children: An Exploratory Case-Control Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) describes an excessive range of joint movement and is associated with increased musculoskeletal injury risk, joint pain, and instability. This study compares lower limb biomechanical characteristics between children with and without GJH. Children aged 5-18 years with GJH (Beighton score ≥ 6/9 pre-puberty, ≥5/9 post-puberty) were age- and sex-matched with controls (Beighton score ≤ 2/9). Biomechanical measures included internal hip rotation, quadriceps (Q) angle, tibial torsion, ankle range of motion (ROM), and foot posture index (FPI). Wilcoxon rank sum test and chi-square were used to assess group differences. Fifty-two participants (median age 11 years, 69% females) included 27 children with GJH and 25 healthy children. Internal hip rotation, Q-angle, ankle ROM and FPI were significantly higher for children with GJH (
