The Effects of Unstable Strength Training on Lower Limb Stability in Adolescent Volleyball Players in China.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundThis study aimed to compare the effects of unstable strength training (UST) and traditional strength training (TST) on lower-body stability in adolescent volleyball players in China.
methodsThis stratified randomized controlled trial recruited 62 eligible athletes from Shandong Province. Participants were assigned to either the UST group or the TST group, and both groups completed a 10-week training program.
resultsMultivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) for within-group effects revealed statistically significant improvements in all dependent variables for both the UST and TST groups (
conclusionUST is more effective than TST in improving athletes' lower-body stability performance. Future studies should explore the application of UST in other sports and examine its effects on parameters beyond functional movement and balance.
