Neuromuscular conditioning strategies and their effectiveness in preventing injuries in soccer players: a systematic review.
Review in Frontiers in sports and active living, 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: The objective of this review is to define the advances in neuromuscular training and its effectiveness in preventing injuries in soccer. Methods: Eligibility criteria were randomized clinical trials on the research topic. To evaluate the number of available studies, a population comprised of soccer players who performed physical training using neuromuscular control and its effect on injury prevention was established.The articles were selected according to the 2020 PRISMA declaration, obtained from databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science. For the research design, a research question was posed to define the search: What are the advances in neuromuscular training and its effectiveness in preventing injuries in soccer?Risk of bias of individual studies was measured using the RoB2 risk of bias tool.The results were summarized in Excel spreadsheets based on the population and interventions performed, and a descriptive analysis of the results obtained regarding training progress and its role in injury prevention was performed. Results: The studies included in the selection were those focused on reducing injuries in soccer; a total of 15 randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Three studies were excluded because they did not focus on reducing injuries, although they did improve skills and knowledge.This study focuses on the importance of establishing injury prevention strategies in soccer, considering the different types and varieties of physical training currently used due to the high injury rate. Strength and balance training reduced ankle instability and kinesiophobia ( Discussion: Limitations of the evidence show poor program adherence and limited research on the causes of dropouts and their relationship to injuries. Data are based on heterogeneous populations to integrate results on a large scale; However, more high-quality research in specific populations is needed.Interpretation of the role of physical training in injury prevention yielded significantly high results, highlighting the importance of its implementation. Factors that have a negative effect on injuries, such as training discontinuation, were also observed. Systematic Review Registration: identifier 1140426.
