Sports related fractures in children in north east England.
Article in Emergency medicine journal : EMJ, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo describe the epidemiology of fractures among children seen with sports injuries in a district general hospital accident and emergency department.
methodsA prospective study of children aged 5 to 15 years who presented with sport related fractures from 1 September 1997 to 31 August 1998.
resultsThe 255 children who had sport related fractures represent 20% of children seen with sport related injuries in the 5-15 years age group during the study period. The mean age was 12 and the male to female ratio was 2:1. Overall, football, rollerblading, cycling, and netball injuries were the commonest causes of the fractures. However, among the boys, football and rollerblading injuries, and among the girls rollerblading and netball injuries, were the commonest causes of the fractures. The most common place where the injuries were sustained was in residential areas (44%) while falls accounted for 59% of the fractures. The fractures involved the upper limb in 90% of the children and the wrist (43%) and finger (23%) were the commonest sites. Rollerblading and football injuries were the commonest causes of wrist and finger fractures respectively.
conclusionA fifth of children who are injured during sport sustain fractures. The various factors associated with an increased incidence of sport related fractures as well as possible preventive measures are discussed.
