SPINAL DISORDERS IN PROFESSIONAL ESPORTS ATHLETES: PROTOCOL FOR A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.
Review in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Electronic sports, or esports, have become increasingly popular worldwide. Official tournaments are organized for participants to compete in a specific gaming titles. However, professional-level competitive participation can lead to health problems that affect the player's quality of life and performance. Previous studies have shown that participation in esports is associated with health risks and challenges, such as a higher incidence of musculoskeletal injuries, sleep problems, sedentary lifestyles, anxiety, and depression. This article presents a systematic review protocol that aims to investigate the effects of professional esports practice on the musculoskeletal system, with a specific focus on the spine. A systematic literature review will be conducted, including observational and intervention studies that evaluate musculoskeletal changes in the spine. This systematic review is expected to provide an overview of the characteristics of professional esports players with spinal complaints and the symptoms observed. The findings of this review may help develop prevention and rehabilitation strategies to promote the physical health of esports players.
