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
backgroundAdolescent female soccer players exhibit a disproportionately high risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, with dynamic knee valgus (DKV) representing one of the major modifiable biomechanical risk factors, particularly under conditions of functional fatigue. The FIFA 11+ injury prevention program has demonstrated efficacy in reducing lower extremity injury risk, yet its impact on landing mechanics under fatigued conditions in this population remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the effects of an 8-week FIFA 11+ program on Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) scores following a functional fatigue protocol in adolescent female soccer players with DKV.
methodsThis parallel-group randomized controlled trial included 21 adolescent female soccer players (aged 13-17 years) exhibiting DKV, allocated to an intervention group (n = 11) receiving the FIFA 11+ program or a control group (n = 10) maintaining standard warm-up routines. LESS assessments were conducted before and after a validated youth soccer fatigue simulation protocol (YoSFS⁵) at baseline and after 8 weeks. A 2 × 2 × 2 mixed-design ANOVA examined the effects of group, time, and fatigue on LESS scores.
resultsSignificant main effects were observed for time (F
conclusionThe 8-week FIFA 11+ program significantly improved landing mechanics and attenuated fatigue-induced deteriorations in adolescent female soccer players with DKV. These findings highlight the program's potential to improve the maintenance of landing mechanics during high-risk fatigued states, with potential implications for improving biomechanical factors associated with ACL injury risk during fatigue.
