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

CrossFit (CrossFit Inc, Washington, DC) is a recent, high-intensity strength and conditioning sport that is growing in popularity worldwide. Potential risks and injuries have been described in previous reports. Distal humeral fractures without direct trauma were related to sports like baseball or wrestling. However, they have never been reported in a CrossFit athlete. We present the first case of distal humeral fracture associated with a CrossFit workout, during a gymnastic movement. Our patient had no relevant medical history but the investigation revealed reduced vitamin D levels and low bone density. The patient was surgically treated and he completed the rehabilitation program. He returned to sports practice 12 weeks after the surgery.
