The relationship between the female athlete triad and injury rates in collegiate female athletes.
Article in PeerJ, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07631312 (Low Energy Availability, Iron Deficiency, Low Vitamin D, and Male and Female Athlete Triad Risk Among Black Collegiate Athletes - A Pilot Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to clarify the relationship between the triad risk assessment score and the sports injury rate in 116 female college athletes (average age, 19.8 ± 1.3 years) in seven sports at the national level of competition; 67 were teenagers, and 49 were in their 20s.
methodsThose with menstrual deficiency for >3 months or <6 menses in 12 months were classified as amenorrheic athletes. Low energy availability was defined as adolescent athletes having a body weight <85% of ideal body weight, and for adult athletes in their 20s, a body mass index ≤17.5 kg/m
resultsIn swimming, significantly more athletes were in the low-risk category than in the moderate and high-risk categories ( DISCUSSION: These results suggest that athletes with relative energy deficiency may have an increased injury risk.
