Augmenting rehabilitation of male volleyball players after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with Thera-band based neuromuscular training to improve balance and functional performance: a pilot randomized clinical trial.

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
Introduction: Persistent neuromuscular deficits following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) impair dynamic stability and sport-specific performance in volleyball athletes who rely on repetitive jumping and single-leg control. Reactive neuromuscular training (RNT) using TheraBand-mediated perturbations may enhance sensorimotor integration, yet evidence in male volleyball players during late-stage rehabilitation (6-12 months post-ACLR) remains limited. This study evaluated the effects of an eight-week TheraBand-based RNT program on dynamic balance and functional performance. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design was used with 30 male volleyball players (18-30 years) allocated to an experimental group ( Results: The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in dynamic balance ( Discussion: An eight-week TheraBand-based RNT program produced clinically meaningful short-term gains in balance and functional performance. These findings support integration of perturbation-based training into late-stage ACLR rehabilitation in male volleyball players, although longer-term studies are required to confirm retention and return-to-sport benefits.
