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
backgroundNordic combined (NC) and ski jumping (SJ) athletes have a high prevalence of chronic hip pathology, which may lead to altered knee and ankle biomechanics. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship among athlete-reported lower extremity outcomes in a proximal-to-distal sequence. STUDY DESIGN/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: cross-sectional study, Level IV.
methodsElite SJ and NC athletes who competed at the national and international levels were prospectively recruited to complete a survey eliciting information about their Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), International Knee Demographic Committee (IKDC) score, and Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS). Univariate linear regressions modeling IKDC scores and FAOS subscores were performed for each of the following independent variables: age, sex, body mass index, Nordic event (NC or SJ), HOOS subscore, and FAOS subscore or IKDC score, respectively.
resultsA total of 22 athletes were included in the study. HOOS symptoms subscores were significantly lower (worse) among SJ athletes compared with NC athletes (P = .002). HOOS quality of life subscores were lower for female athletes compared with male athletes (54 ± 21, 73 ± 4.0; P = .029) in the entire cohort. An increase in the HOOS pain subscore (0.54 ± 0.20, P = .016) and HOOS sports subscore (0.40 ± 0.17, P = .042) was associated with a significant increase in the IKDC score. An increase in the HOOS symptoms subscore (0.63 ± 0.21, P = .011) was associated with a significant increase in the FAOS symptoms subscore.
conclusionElite NC and SJ athletes are at high risk of hip pain, which increases their risk of developing knee and ankle pain as well. These findings strongly suggest that training targeted at hip strength and conditioning may optimize knee and ankle outcomes in elite NC and SJ athletes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The results of this study may help guide physicians, allied health personnel, and coaches to alter lower extremity training regimens to decrease the risk of injury.
