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

Injuries to the musculoskeletal system are frequent in elite sports and they are detrimental to athletic performance. This can be due to, for example, (1) overuse disorders of tendon (tendinopathy) that not only lower the training efficiency but also, in many cases, are career-ending for the athlete due to pain; (2) acute muscle strain injury that both causes prolonged absence from competition and results in many re-injuries; or (3) tendon rupture that, apart from a very long rehabilitation period, will also result in many athletes never resuming their original high level of competitive sports. For all three injury examples, several evidence-based prevention programs and treatments are available, and yet the incidence of these injuries remains high and single treatments often provide only partial recovery. In this paper, we highlight the current treatments of these three conditions and focus on the unsolved dilemmas that exist in these sports injuries.
