Increasing incidence of surgically treated hamstring injuries: a nationwide registry study in Sweden between 2001 and 2020.
Article in Acta orthopaedica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
background and purposeData on incidence and on trends in treatment of hamstring injuries, including proximal hamstring tendon avulsions (PHA), is limited. We aimed to investigate the incidence, trends in operative treatment, age, and sex distribution of hamstring injuries in Sweden between 2001 and 2020. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe obtained data recorded in the National Patient Register between 2001 and 2020 on patients between 18 and 90 years of age, with the ICD-10 code S76.3, to calculate the incidence of patients treated operatively for hamstring injuries in Sweden. Patients with the NOMESCO classification NFL49 were considered as having been treated operatively. Data on quadriceps and Achilles tendon injuries were obtained for comparison. To calculate incidences, adult population data for every year were obtained from the Statistics Sweden website.
resultsThe incidence of patients diagnosed with hamstring injuries increased from 2.2 to 7.3 per 100,000 person-years. There was a rising trend of surgical treatment per diagnosed case from 3.0% to 14.2%. Patients diagnosed in units with the highest experience of surgical treatment of hamstring injuries tended to be operated on more often (22.2%) than patients diagnosed in units with limited experience (5.1%), although the fraction of operated patients was increasing in both groups.
conclusionBetween 2001 and 2020 there was an increase in the proportion of operatively treated hamstring injuries.
