Upper Body Injuries in Golfers.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewGolf is a sport that can be played by an athlete of any age, which enhances its popularity. Each golfer's swing is unique, and there is no "right" way to swing the golf club; however, the professional golfer often has more of a consistent swing as opposed to an amateur golfer. A collaborative, team approach involving the golfer with a swing coach, physical therapist, and physician often can be informative on how to prevent golf injury, but also how to treat golf injury if it occurs. RECENT
findingsAs a rotational sport, the golfer needs to be trained and treated with respect for how the body works as a linkage system or kinetic chain. A warm-up is recommended for every golfer before practicing or playing, and this warm-up should account for every segment of the linkage system. Though it has been thought of as a relatively safe sport, injuries can be seen with golfers of any age or skill level, and upper body injuries involving the cervical and thoracic spine, shoulder, elbow, and wrist are common. A narrative review is provided here of the epidemiology of golf injury and common injuries involving each of these upper body regions. In addition, treatment and injury prevention recommendations are discussed.
