Neuromuscular training for preventing knee injuries in female team athletes: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of neuromuscular training (NMT) in preventing knee injuries in female team sport athletes and identify dose-response relationships with intervention complexity, compliance, and session parameters.
methodsThis review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Randomized controlled trials on NMT for injury prevention in female team-sport athletes were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up to December 2024. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effects models depending on heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses examined compliance, session duration, training frequency, and NMT components.
resultsNMT significantly reduced overall knee injury risk by 22% (RR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.65-0.94,
conclusionNMT reduced knee injury risk in female team sport athletes, with compliance ≥75% indispensable. ≥15-minute sessions delivered 2-3 times weekly can optimise the outcomes. Meanwhile, clinical implementation should prioritize coach-led adherence strategies and evidence-based programs such as FIFA 11+ injury prevention programme (FIFA 11+). Finally, standardising exposure metrics and incorporating sensor-based compliance tracking will enhance scalability.
