Handgrip strength in young recreational skiers: Is it related to the risk of falling?
Article in European journal of translational myology, 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
Handgrip Strength (HGS) is correlated with general health and fitness throughout the lifespan. However, the relationship between HGS and the frequency of sports accidents is not well understood. The aim of the present survey was twofold. Firstly, to collect HGS data from young skiers and compare them with existing normative values; secondly, to investigate whether the frequency of falls during a day of skiing is correlated with HGS. Data on HGS and falls were collected from 251 recreational downhill skiers, aged 6-25 years, on the day of recording. The results demonstrate the representative progression of HGS in boys and girls during growth and early adulthood. Additionally, the findings indicate that in young female skiers up to the age of 25 years, HGS is negatively correlated with the frequency of falls, which may be related to the generally lower muscle strength in females. Regular physical activity, including muscle strengthening and balance exercises, is crucial for preventing falls in skiers.
