A Systematic Review of the Orthopaedic Literature on Truncal and Lower Extremity Injuries in Major League Baseball Players.

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
backgroundOrthopaedic injuries in Major League Baseball (MLB) players can have a tremendous impact on player health, longevity, salaries, and time lost from play. PURPOSE: To summarize all data published between January 1980 and August 2019 on truncal and lower extremity orthopaedic injuries sustained by MLB players.
methodsA literature review of studies examining injuries in MLB was performed using the PubMed and Embase databases. Included studies focused on truncal and lower extremity injuries in professional baseball players. Studies pertaining to nonorthopaedic injuries, and case reports, were excluded.
resultsA total of 41 articles met the inclusion criteria and were selected for the final analysis. Articles were divided based on anatomic region of injury: hip and pelvis (16%), thigh (15%), truncal (14%), knee (13%), and ankle (11%). Most studies (83.7%) were level 3 evidence. Most studies obtained data using publicly available internet resources (29.8%) compared with the MLB Health and Injury Tracking System (22.1%).
conclusionThis review provides physicians with a single source of the most current literature regarding truncal and lower extremity orthopaedic injuries in MLB players. Most research was published on hip and pelvic, truncal, and thigh injuries and consisted of level III evidence.
