1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundLeg-length inequality (LLI) is a common condition that may contribute to various spinal, pelvic, and lower extremity dysfunctions. Iliac crest height difference (ICHD) has been demonstrated to be a good estimate for LLI and may be a useful measure for identifying individuals who are at risk for injury. PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between ICHD and other running-related variables with running injury.

methodsAn observational retrospective case-control design was used. Data were collected via questionnaire and physical examination from a purposive sample of 100 runners and were analyzed using chi-squared tests of independence.

resultsThe prevalence of ICHD ≥ 5mm reported by subjects via questionnaire was ∼40%. There was no difference in report of injury between subjects with ICHD >5mm and those with ICHD <5mm (χ

conclusionSmall ICHD is not associated with running injury among recreational runners. There appears to be an increased risk of running injury among runners who participate in more than one running event annually and those that have had a past history of running injury. Also, males may be at slightly greater risk of sustaining a running injury compared to females. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapy, level 3b.
