Growth, Maturation and Health Profiles of Youth Triathletes; Associations with Training Load, Injury and Illness.

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
Purpose: To examine the health history, growth and maturation profiles, and current health status of youth triathletes prior to entry into a National Institute Network (NIN); and determine associations between growth, training load, and health problem severity to inform developmental training strategies. Methods: Youth triathletes (ages 12-18) were monitored over one year. Data was collected on athletic health history, growth (height, weight, arm spam) and maturation (bone age (BA); peak height velocity (PHV), predicted adult height (PAH), PAH%). Over 10 weeks the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaire (OSTRC-H2 questionnaire), training load and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded across triathlon disciplines. Results: Estimated PHV occurred later than population norms (Female 12.5 ± 0.7; Male 13.3 ± 0.6). Estimated BA exceeded chronological age (CA) in both sexes. Males showed higher height tempo ( Conclusion: Sex-based maturation differences in youth triathletes require tailored training; high illness and injury prevalence identify the need for growth monitoring and balanced training to support long term athlete performance progression.
