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

objectivesAnalyze associations between lower extremity joint power during the eccentric and concentric phases of a single leg squat and hip symptom duration, hip function, and physical activity levels in individuals with hip joint-related groin pain.

designThe cross-sectional design of the current study is a secondary analysis of an observational study consisting of a cohort design.

settingBiomechanics Laboratory.

participantsTwenty-five adults aged 18 to 45 years with current hip pain were recruited for this study.

main outcome measuresParticipants self-reported quality of life and physical function using the iHOT-12, current activity level using the Tegner Activity Rating Scale, and hip symptom duration. Lower-limb joint power was calculated using three-dimensional biomechanics data. Spearman's correlation coefficients were used to examine the relationships between parameters.

resultsOur study found that lower hip joint power during the eccentric and concentric phases of a single leg squat task were associated with worse hip function, lower physical activity levels, and a longer duration of hip symptoms.

conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of early intervention prior to the onset of severe muscle dysfunction that may lead to corresponding alterations in hip joint loading in individuals with hip joint-related pain.
