Incidence and biomechanical risk factors for running-related injuries: A prospective cohort study.

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
Background: Injuries among runners is significant, yet the contributing risk factors remain elusive. The objective of this study was to examined the incidence and biomechanical elements associated with running-related injuries. Methods: A 24-week prospective study was carried out. Injury incidence was calculated per 1000 h of running, with participants completing bi-monthly online questionnaires. Biomechanical risk factors, encompassing plantar pressure, muscle strength of hip and knee muscles, core stability, dorsiflexion, passive hip internal rotation, lower extremity length, Q-angle, and shank-forefoot alignment, were assessed at baseline. Logistic regression was used to investigate the relationship between injury incidence and these biomechanical risk factors. Results: Ninety-eight runners participated in the study. Injury incidence was 8.1 per 1000 h of running, with 41 runners experiencing musculoskeletal injuries during the follow-up period. The knee emerged as the most commonly affected joint, constituting 28.4 % of injuries. The Odds Ratio for hip external rotator muscle strength was .84 (95 % Confidence Interval = .71 - .99). Conclusion: Greater force during hip external rotation was identified as a protective factor against running injuries. These findings bear significance for the formulation and implementation of preventive strategies.
