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

backgroundThe female athlete triad (Triad) and relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs) describe potential health and performance consequences of low energy availability.

objectiveWe surveyed female cross-country athletes to assess differences in educational impact scores (EIS; knowledge score × confidence score factor) of Triad and REDs. Associations between EIS and participant characteristics (eg, mileage [current and peak], years of running experience, age, bone stress injury history, division level participation, academic area of study, Triad or REDs diagnoses, and Triad or REDs education) were explored. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): An evidence-based online survey was developed and administered via Qualtrics to female collegiate cross-country athletes (n = 275; age = 20 ± 1 years).

resultsA weak correlation existed between peak career mileage and EIS (r = 0.195; P = .010). Educational impact scores significantly differed in athletes with a related academic area of study versus those without (21.91 ± 5.16 and 16.11 ± 5.54, respectively). Educational impact scores significantly differed in athletes with Triad and REDs diagnoses (21.69 ± 5.85 and 22.58 ± 6.82, respectively) versus those without (16.80 ± 6.54 and 17.20 ± 6.34, respectively). Educational impact scores were higher in those who had received Triad education versus those who had not (21.03 ± 6.86 and 18.12 ± 6.82, respectively). A significant interaction between peak career mileage and Triad diagnosis was found (P = .005).

conclusionsSignificant education-based and diagnosis differences suggest that Triad diagnoses correlate with peak career mileage. These findings support the facilitation of education to improve not only the treatment but also the prevention of Triad and REDs.
