Description and Rate of Musculoskeletal Injuries in Air Force Basic Military Trainees, 2012-2014.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04166136 (Efficacy of the Transition of the Foot Strike Pattern From Rearfoot to Midfoot or Forefoot During Running on Pain and Disability in Cadets With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
contextMusculoskeletal injuries are common in military trainees and have significant medical and operational effects.
objectiveTo provide current musculoskeletal injury epidemiology data for US Air Force basic military trainees.
designDescriptive epidemiologic study with cross-sectional features.
settingUS Air Force Basic Military Training, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsAll recruits who entered training between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2014. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Incidence density rate of all musculoskeletal injuries (stratified by body region and type) and factors and costs associated with injuries.
resultsOf the 67 525 trainees, 12.5% sustained 1 or more musculoskeletal injuries. The overall incidence density rate was 18.3 injuries per 1000 person-weeks (15.1 for men and 29.4 for women). The most common diagnosis (n = 2984) was Pain in joint, lower leg, as described in the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification, code 719.46. Injuries were more common among those with lower levels of baseline aerobic and muscular fitness. Injured trainees were 3.01 times (95% confidence interval = 2.85, 3.18) as likely to be discharged, and injured trainees who did graduate were 2.88 times (95% confidence interval = 2.72, 3.04) as likely to graduate late. During the surveillance period, injuries resulted in more than $43.7 million in medical ($8.7 million) and nonmedical ($35 million) costs.
conclusionsMusculoskeletal injuries, predominantly of the lower extremities, have significant fiscal and operational effects on Air Force Basic Military Training. Further research into prevention and early rehabilitation of these injuries in military trainees is warranted.
