Sagittal plane joint mechanics during downhill running in female distance runners.
Article in Sports medicine and health science, 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
Background: Hill training is often used as a foundational training method to increase strength and speed. However, there is limited research regarding the mechanics involved in downhill running, particularly for declines greater than -10%, despite trail and hill training commonly occurring in long distance running. Thus, the purpose of this study was to quantify the biomechanics of downhill running at four different declines compared to a level surface in female distance runners and to assess the potential risk of injury relative to level running. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, fifteen female distance runners (age: [23.5 ± 4.9] years; mileage: [56.3 ± 20.9] km/week) ran on a force-instrumented treadmill at 4.0 m⋅s Results: Key study findings showed increased power absorption at the ankle and knee ( Conclusion: Results indicate that there may be a greater risk for injury when running downhill compared to running on a level surface based on risk factors for common running injuries illustrated in prior research.
