Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Return to Full Duty in a Military Population After a Recent Injury: Differences Between Lower-Extremity and Spine Injuries.
Article in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo compare readiness to return to duty in soldiers following recent lower-extremity versus spine injury. The secondary purposes were to provide normative data for the Selective Functional Movement Assessment Top Tier movements (SFMA-TTM) and assess the association between SFMA-TTM scores and future injury occurrence, comparing injuries of the lower extremity and thoracic/lumbar spine.
methodsSFMA was rated by trained assessors on 480 U.S. Army soldiers within 2 weeks of being cleared to return to duty after recent lower-extremity or lumbar/thoracic injury. Participants were followed for 1 year to determine incidence of subsequent time-loss injury.
resultsOnly 74.4% of soldiers felt 100% mission capable when returning to full duty (73.6% lower-extremity; 76.5% spine). After 1 year, 37.9% had sustained a time-loss injury, and pain with movement at baseline was associated with higher odds for having an injury (odd ratio 1.53 95% confidence interval 1.04-2.24;
conclusionsOne in four patients did not feel 100% mission capable upon being cleared for full duty. Pain with movement was also associated with future injury. Regardless of recent injury type, 99.8% of soldiers returned to full unrestricted duty with at least 1dysfunctional movement pattern and 44.1% had pain with at least 1 of the SFMA-TTM movements. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative cohort study.
