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

This correspondence addresses claims of novelty in the recently published article by Worst and Henderson (2026) regarding normative values for the single-leg bridge (SLB) endurance test. While the authors contribute valuable insights into clinician assessment accuracy, their assertion that normative SLB values for healthy young adults are currently "lacking" or "first" reported in 2026 overlooks foundational data published in 2021 (Lehecka et al.). This letter clarifies the methodological and demographic confluence between the Gluteal Endurance Measure-B (GEM-B) and the SLB test, noting that normative values established via electromyographic median frequency shifts and visual estimation have been available since 2021. Correcting the scientific record ensures accurate attribution and maintains the evidentiary lineage required for evidence-based practice and future meta-analyses.
