Immediate sensorimotor effects of textured forearm orthosis on elbow tendinopathy: a randomized crossover clinical trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 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
Forearm orthoses are commonly used and are known to improve motor performance in the management of lateral elbow tendinopathy; however, their specific impact on sensory function remains less clear. Sensorimotor function encompasses the integrated process of sensory perception and motor response. This study was to investigate the immediate effect of forearm clasping orthoses with a textured pad on sensorimotor arm function in people with lateral elbow tendinopathy. In a randomized crossover design, 56 individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy underwent four testing conditions: no orthosis, placebo, forearm strap, and forearm clasping orthosis with a textured pad. Pain-free grip strength, elbow proprioception, pain intensity, and hand function were measured three times per condition during the same session and analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Both forearm straps (p = 0.01) and clasping orthoses (p = 0.02) significantly improved pain-free grip compared to no orthosis. Both orthoses also significantly improved elbow proprioception (p < 0.001). The forearm strap improved pain intensity (p = 0.002) and hand function (p = 0.001) compared to no orthosis, while the clasping orthosis did not (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two orthoses, or between the no orthosis and placebo conditions (p > 0.05). Forearm straps or clasping orthoses can be considered as immediate, non-invasive interventions to improve elbow proprioception and grip strength in individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy.
