The Impact of Wrist Fractures on Long-Term Basketball Performance.
Article in Journal of hand and microsurgery, 2024. 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
Background: Wrist joint fractures may present challenging obstacles for the rehabilitating athlete upon return to play. Although current literature has examined the effects of specific injuries to the upper extremity for basketball athletes, little is known about long-term performance outcomes following wrist joint fractures. Methods: Review of all National Basketball Association players who sustained wrist joint fractures was conducted. Player characteristics, preinjury and postinjury performance, and overall efficiency were analyzed. Results: A total of 31 players were deemed appropriate for inclusion, with an average age of 26.2 ± 4.3 years and a mean of 5.2 ± 3.6 years played before injury and 4.1 ± 3.1 years played upon return. Operative management was pursued in 48.4% of players. Players demonstrated a significant decrease in win shares before injury (mean: 24.3 ± 31.5) compared to after return from injury (mean: 9.6 ± 19.6) ( Conclusion: Overall efficiency following return to play in the setting of basketball-associated wrist joint fractures appears to be decreased in athletes. However, preinjury performance as captured through win share efficiency and points per game appears to be predictive of increased productivity after successful return.
