The Biomechanical Signature of Elite Distance Running: A Matched Pairs Analysis Across Multiple Speeds.
Article in Scandinavian journal of medicine & science in sports, 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
This study compared the biomechanical profiles of elite and recreational distance runners across five measurement domains using wearable inertial sensors across treadmill speeds of 10-15 km/h. A total of 104 runners (52 elite; 52 recreational) were assessed using RunScribe sensors during an incremental treadmill protocol. Twenty-three variables spanning spatiotemporal parameters, stiffness and force, impact loading, foot kinematics and vertical dynamics were recorded at each speed. Elite runners were matched 1:1 with recreational runners by sex, age, height, and body mass. For each variable, a linear mixed-effects model (LMM) was fitted to within-pair differences with pair-level random intercepts and speed slopes, and speed and within-pair body mass and age imbalances as fixed effects. FDR correction (Benjamini-Hochberg) was applied to the 23 group-effect and 23 interaction tests independently. Twelve of 23 variables (52.2%) showed a significant group effect, and six (26.1%) a significant group×speed interaction after FDR correction. Elite runners showed shorter contact time (d
