Kinetic chain-based shoulder exercises: effects of lower extremity contribution on scapular muscle balance in individuals with and without scapular dyskinesis.
Article in Journal of exercise rehabilitation, 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
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of kinetic chain-based forward punch plus (FPP) exercise on scapular muscle activation between individuals with scapular dyskinesis (SD) and healthy controls. A total of 30 male participants were recruited, including 15 with SD and 15 healthy individuals. Muscle activation of the upper trapezius (UT), lower trapezius (LT), serratus anterior (SA), and gluteus maximus, as well as activation ratios, were measured during FPP and FPP with contralateral leg flexion. The healthy group demonstrated decreased UT activation accompanied by increased LT and SA activation, resulting in significantly reduced UT/SA and UT/LT ratios. In contrast, the SD group showed significant increases in SA and LT; however, compensatory activation of the UT prevented improvement in muscle activation balance. These findings highlight the need for targeted neuromuscular strategies to address compensatory UT activation in individuals with SD during kinetic chain-based movements.
