Bone and tendon adaptations to 18-weeks rehabilitation and endurance and resistance training in postpartum British Servicewomen: a non-randomised controlled trial.
Article 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
Women experience musculoskeletal changes following pregnancy that may increase musculoskeletal injury risk. This trial explored 18-weeks combined rehabilitation and endurance and resistance training (Intervention, n = 17) compared with standard-of-care (Control, n = 14) on areal bone mineral density (aBMD), tibial bone, and patella tendon properties in postpartum UK Servicewomen. Intervention received standard care plus pelvic floor and core strength exercises from week 1 to 18 (week 6 to 24 postpartum), and combined high-intensity interval and resistance training from week 6 to 18 (week 12 to 24 postpartum). Control received standard care. Whole-body DXA and tibial HRpQCT scans (4% and 30% sites) were taken at week 1 and 18. Patella tendon properties at rest and during isometric contractions were measured by ultrasound at weeks 1, 6, and 18. There was no effect of training on aBMD (p ≥ 0.100) but trunk (-1.6%) and spine (-2.3%) aBMD decreased from week 1 to 18, irrespective of group (p ≤ 0.021). There was no effect of training on tibial bone (p ≥ 0.151) or patella tendon properties (p ≥ 0.185). An 18-week rehabilitation and endurance and resistance training programme had no effect on bone or tendon properties in postpartum Servicewomen.
