Treatment of Acute Thigh Muscle Injury with or without Hematoma Puncture in Athletes.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesTo correlate the mean time of return of athletes to sport after acute injury of the thigh muscle with hematoma that was punctured or not.
methodsStudy based on clinical intervention, controlled and non-randomized with 20 amateur and professional athletes, divided into moderate and total or subtotal thighs lesions, according with the Munich Consensus Statement. Nine athletes were included in the intervention group and 11 athletes in the control group. In the intervention group, the athletes were submitted to a puncture of the hematoma, associated to physical therapy; the control group did only physical therapy. The variable mean time of return to sport was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test and a significance level of 5% (
resultsThe mean group was composed mostly of men, eight of them were amateur athletes. There were three women, two of whom were amateur athletes. The average age of participants was 34.70 ± 12.79 years. There were 13 patients with posterior thigh lesions, 5 with anterior lesions and two with adductor lesions. Considering all injuries, the mean time of return to sport was of 48.50 ± 27.50 days in the intervention group. In the control group, this period was of 102.09 ± 52.02 days, showing a statistically significant difference between them (
conclusionIn the present study, hematoma drainage in athletes with moderate and total or subtotal muscle injuries associated with hematomas decreased their return time to sport.
