Novel Isometric Testing of Frontal Plane Hip Strength in Collegiate Cross-Country Runners.
Article in Sports medicine international open, 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
In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to describe preseason hip abduction and adduction strength in Division III cross-country athletes using an externally fixated inline tension dynamometer to report sex-stratified normalized torque values (Nm/kg) and adduction:abduction ratios. Maximal isometric hip abduction and adduction peak forces were measured during a single session and normalized to body mass and moment arm length. Participants included 35 male runners (18.9±0.90 y) and 26 female runners (19.0±1.1 y). Normalized hip torque (Nm/kg) (right/left) for men was: abduction (1.82±0.38/1.84±0.36), adduction (1.98±0.43/1.70±0.41), and adduction:abduction ratio (1.10±0.18/0.92±0.12). Normalized hip torque (Nm/kg) (right/left) for women was: abduction (1.45±0.25/1.43±0.27), adduction (1.40±0.22/1.34±0.28), and adduction:abduction ratio (0.98±0.14/0.95±0.15). By accounting for joint moment arm length and body mass while minimizing measurement variability through rigid external fixation, this study establishes sex-stratified normative isometric hip strength reference profiles in healthy collegiate distance runners to support baseline strength profiling and standardized clinical screening.
