Shoulder range of motion and strength in beach tennis athletes compared to volleyball and tennis players: implications for injury risk and performance.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionBeach tennis (BT) combines elements of tennis, volleyball, and badminton, attracting a diverse global following. Despite its popularity, research on its link to shoulder injuries remains limited. This study investigates shoulder characteristics among BT athletes, volleyball players, and tennis athletes to identify potential differences and inform injury prevention strategies.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis was performed to assess shoulder range of motion (ROM) and rotator cuff strength in 65 athletes using an online questionnaire and biomechanical assessments.
resultsVolleyball players demonstrated superior shoulder ROM compared to tennis and BT athletes, while tennis players exhibited a greater difference in internal rotation between sides. Additionally, volleyball athletes displayed greater external rotation strength on the dominant side than tennis players, with BT athletes also exhibiting significant strength advantages.
conclusionThese findings emphasise the distinct demands of BT and highlight the need for tailored interventions to optimise performance and minimise injury risks. Customised training and injury prevention approaches are warranted.
