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

contextLower extremity bone stress injuries (BSIs) place a significant burden on the health and readiness of the US Armed Forces.

objectiveTo determine if preinjury baseline performance on an expanded and automated 22-item version of the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS-22) was associated with the incidence of BSIs in a military training population.

designProspective cohort study.

settingUS Military Academy at West Point, NY. PATIENTS OR OTHER

participantsA total of 2235 incoming cadets (510 females [22.8%]). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Multivariable Poisson regression models were used to produce adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) to quantify the association between preinjury LESS scores and BSI incidence rate during follow-up and were adjusted for pertinent risk factors. Risk factors were included as covariates in the final model if the 95% CI for the crude IRR did not contain 1.00.

resultsA total of 54 BSIs occurred during the study period, resulting in an overall incidence rate of 0.07 BSI per 1000 person-days (95% CI = 0.05, 0.09). The mean number of exposure days was 345.4 ± 61.12 (range = 3-368 days). The final model was adjusted for sex and body mass index and yielded an adjusted IRR for a LESS-22 score of 1.06 (95% CI = 1.002, 1.13; P = .04), indicating that each additional LESS error documented at baseline was associated with a 6.0% increase in the incidence rate of BSI during the follow-up period. In addition, 6 individual LESS-22 items, including 2 newly added items, were significantly associated with the BSI incidence.

conclusionsWe provided evidence that performance on the expanded and automated version of the LESS was associated with the BSI incidence in a military training population. The automated LESS-22 may be a scalable solution for screening military training populations for BSI risk.
