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

Objective: This study explored the link between hip abductor function, assessed through the Trendelenburg test (TT), and pelvic drop during walking and running across various terrains and speeds. Methods: A sample of 19 healthy adults (11 females, 8 males; average age 24.4 years, height 1.74 meters, weight 72.5 kilograms) participated. The TT was conducted on both sides of each participant's body, followed by walking at three speeds (self-selected, slow, fast) on 3 slopes (-10%, level, 10%) and running at 2 speeds (8 and 10 km/h) on the same slopes, using a motorized treadmill. Pelvic motion was captured with a 3D system to analyze maximum and minimum pelvic motion ( Results: Significant differences in Conclusion: This study showed no association between the effects of hip abductor weakness (as identified by the TT) and pelvic mobility during walking and running gait in a healthy, young population. While the TT may serve as a valuable tool for identifying hip abductor weakness in a clinical setting, its direct applicability to predicting dynamic pelvic motion during walking and running remains limited.
