[Stress fractures in the military context].
Review in Unfallchirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSoldiers, especially as recruits, are exposed to significantly elevated stress patterns of the foot due to occupation-related marching and excessive running. This can lead to military-specific stress fractures of the metatarsals, i.e., marching fractures. The treatment and prevention of stress fractures are of particular importance in the military context due to the impact on operational capability and treatment costs. A uniform classification of these fractures does not yet exist.
objectiveReview of stress fractures in the military setting with presentation of the incidence, risk factors, classification, treatment and prevention possibilities. MATERIAL AND
methodsA PubMed®-based review of the current literature on stress fractures in the military context was conducted and the results were discussed with a focus on specific military medical treatment options.
resultsThere are several possibilities to classify stress fractures, the most well-known being a 4-level magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based classification. Prevention and treatment possibilities are multifaceted but so far insufficiently validated.
conclusionMilitary-specific stress fractures should be grouped according to a 4-level and MRI-based classification. The treatment options include both conservative and surgical measures and should be implemented taking the patient's individual requirements into account. Preventive measures play a key role in the military context. They include the adaptation of screening tools, training and equipment and require continuous evaluation and development.
