A pre-training conditioning program to increase physical fitness and reduce attrition due to injuries in Dutch Airmobile recruits: Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

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
backgroundLow baseline fitness of recruits entering basic military training is shown to be associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) and attrition of military training. This in turn leads to an increased demand for health care, increased health care costs and decreased personnel occupancy rate of military units.
designStudy protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
objectiveTo determine the effects of a pre-training conditioning program on cardiovascular endurance, incidence of overuse injuries, and attrition rates in Dutch Airmobile recruits undertaking initial military training.
settingRoyal Netherlands Army, Air Assault Brigade military training course.
participantsRecruits are considered eligible for this study when they are 'low-fit' at the start of the initial military training. Time to complete a 2700 m run test in ≥12'23'' is used as selection criteria.
interventionsWe use a complex system approach to cover multiple domains of MSI prevention and optimise intervention circumstance; a pre-training conditioning program, training staff support, process-focused culture and health accountability. The pre-training conditioning program contains functional training to improve mobility, power, agility, lower and upper body strength and cardiovascular endurance. Cardiovascular endurance will be targeted both by endurance training and high intensity interval training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Outcome measures include cardiovascular endurance, injury incidence, attrition rates, lost training days due to injuries, and implementation fidelity of the PCP. TRIAL STATUS: Recruitment of participants commenced April 18, 2018 and final results are expected in August 2019.
