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 and purposeThe ability to perform jumping and landing maneuvers effectively is important for athletic performance and injury prevention. The aim of this study was to compare the immediate effects of dynamic taping (DT) and Kinesio taping (KT) applied to the ankle on knee biomechanics during a single-leg countermovement jump (SL-CMJ) in healthy individuals.
methodsEighteen healthy individuals (8 males, 10 females) performed the SL-CMJ under three randomized conditions: no taping, DT, and KT. Each condition was tested on separate days. Two-dimensional video-based motion analysis was used to assess peak knee valgus angle (
resultsBoth DT and KT significantly increased peak knee valgus angle and significantly reduced jump height, flight time, and ground contact time compared with the no-taping condition (all p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed between DT and KT for any of the measured outcomes (all p > 0.05). DISCUSSION: Both DT and KT altered landing biomechanics during the SL-CMJ in healthy individuals by increasing the peak knee valgus angle and reducing jump performance variables. However, no differences were observed between DT and KT, indicating that their different mechanical properties did not result in different effects on the measured outcomes. Because only healthy individuals were evaluated and only the immediate effects of taping were investigated, further studies are needed to determine the clinical relevance of these biomechanical changes.
