1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Knee injuries are common in wrestling and may result in persistent sensorimotor deficits and inter-limb asymmetries affecting performance. This study compared proprioceptive accuracy, dynamic postural control, and functional performance between injured and uninjured limbs in elite wrestlers with a history of unilateral knee injury. Methods: Twenty elite wrestlers (10 females, 10 males) who had returned to full participation in training participated in this cross-sectional comparative study. Proprioception was assessed using joint position sense (JPS) at 15°, 30°, and 60° of knee flexion. Dynamic balance and functional performance were evaluated using the Y-Balance Test (YBT) and the single-leg hop test. Pain and subjective knee function were measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Lysholm scores. Paired comparisons and correlation analyses were performed. Results: The injured limb showed significantly greater JPS error at 15° ( Discussion: Elite wrestlers may exhibit persistent sensorimotor and functional performance asymmetries despite returning to sport. These findings suggest that return to sport may not reflect full neuromuscular recovery. Comprehensive assessment of sensorimotor function and inter-limb performance asymmetry may help identify residual impairments and improve return-to-sport decision-making.
