Effect of Focal Vibration Technique on Lower Limb Performance: A Randomized, Double-Blind Study.
Trial report in Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society, 2026. 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 objective of this study was to evaluate the performance capabilities of amateur soccer players using a focal vibration protocol at 120 Hertz combined with stationary bicycle pedaling at 80-90 revolutions per minute for 10 min, in one session per week for three consecutive weeks, to analyze its impact on five countermovement jumps (CMJ). A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial was conducted at soccer clubs in the province of Tarragona involving a sample of 107 soccer players. The main outcome measures included CMJ height, electrical muscle activation of the vastus medialis of the quadriceps, tibialis anterior, and medial gastrocnemius muscles, and jump, power, velocity, and strength. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences in the intervention group: CMJ height (p = 0.04; d = 4.38; power = 0.97), vastus medialis quadriceps (p = 0.001; d = 0.28; power = 0.95), tibialis anterior (p = 0.02; d = 0.24; power = 0.95), internal gastrocnemius (p = 0.005; d = 0.28; power = 0.95), power (p = < 0.001; d = 0.16; power = 0.95), and velocity (p = 0.03; d = 0.39; power = 0.95). These findings demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in CMJ performance following the application of a focal vibration protocol combined with stationary bicycle pedaling at 80-90 revolutions per minute for 10 min, in one session per week for three consecutive weeks, compared to a simulated focal vibration protocol. The results suggest that focal vibration is a valuable tool in the world of football, a high-impact and high-power sport.
