Imaging characterization of sports-related hamstring injuries.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 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
The hamstring muscles comprise the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and biceps femoris. The hamstring muscle group is frequently injured in a wide range of sports, particularly those involving sprinting, rapid acceleration and deceleration, and changes of direction. The most common mechanism is an indirect injury, typically presenting as a muscle strain. In elite athletes, hamstring injuries can be career-threatening. Complete hamstring avulsions are less common than partial tears. This review provides an overview of the broad spectrum of sports-related hamstring injuries and their magnetic resonance imaging findings. Furthermore, both classic and more recent classification systems for muscle injuries are presented and discussed, as several systems have been proposed and currently no universally accepted standard exists. In addition, basic principles of treatment, the healing process of muscle injuries, and the risk of re-injury are outlined. Factors influencing the time to return to play are also discussed. Since radiologists play a key role in the multidisciplinary care of both athletes and the general population with muscle injuries, communication with referring physicians should be as standardized as possible to have the same language and based on clinically aligned terminology.
