Isokinetic knee strength profiles, conventional hamstring-to-quadriceps ratio, and performance decrement in weightlifting and wrestling athletes: a cross-sectional study.

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
Lower extremity strength characteristics, particularly the hamstring-to-quadriceps (H/Q) ratio and performance decrement–related variables, play a critical role in both injury prevention and athletic performance. However, few studies have compared these isokinetic knee strength characteristics according to sport type and athletic career duration. This cross-sectional study, recruited 40 weightlifting and wrestling athletes. Classified them into a ≤ 5-year experience group (n, 15; 20.33 ± 1.84 years) and a ≥ 6-year group (n, 25; 31.40 ± 3.51 years). Using a Biodex System IV dynamometer, bilateral knee flexion/extension peak torque was measured at angular velocities of 60°/s (3 trials), 180°/s (5 trials), and 240°/s (26 trials), from which the H/Q ratio, explosive, and performance decrement percentage were derived. The ≥ 6-year career group was older than the ≤ 5-year group (p < 0.001), with no significant differences in other body-composition variables. Weightlifters exhibited higher H/Q ratios than wrestlers at 60°/s bilaterally (right, p = 0.036; left, p = 0.015) and higher explosive ratios in right knee extension at 60°/s (p < 0.001) and 180°/s (p = 0.023). Career-duration groups differed significantly in right knee flexion measures, with the largest difference at 240°/s average peak torque (p = 0.006). Knee strength variables were significantly correlated with strength-related factors, including performance decrement % (all p < 0.001). In this cross-sectional study, isokinetic knee strength–related characteristics varied according to sport type and athletic career duration. Regular monitoring of isokinetic strength profiles, including the H/Q ratio and performance decrement index, may help inform individualized training programs and support injury prevention strategies.
