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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of physical-mental mixed fatigue (PMF) on lower limb Biomechanics, Inter-joint Coordination and potential injury risk during landing task in elite American football players. Methods: Twelve male collegiate American football players were recruited. A randomized crossover controlled design was employed, wherein participants randomly completed baseline testing, physical fatigue (PF) intervention, and PMF intervention. PMF was induced utilizing a cycle ergometer protocol concurrently performed with a Stroop cognitive task. Kinematic and kinetic data during a landing task were synchronously collected using a Vicon motion capture system and force plates. Statistical comparisons were performed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: PMF specifically altered ankle joint kinematic patterns, manifested as a decreased ankle dorsiflexion angle ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that PMF specifically disrupts ankle biomechanics, potentially predisposing the joint to a posture that may be associated with higher injury risk. Nevertheless, highly trained athletes may utilize adaptive compensatory strategies developed through long-term training to maintain overall landing stability and impact load levels, thereby potentially offsetting the negative effects of PMF on neuromuscular control. When assessing injury risk associated with PMF, joint-level kinematic changes should be emphasized in addition to global indicators.
