Pulmonary contusion with hemoptysis from lacrosse ball strike: A case report.
Article in Heliyon, 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
Lacrosse, a sport of increasing popularity, is played with netted sticks and a firm rubber ball propelled at speeds frequently reaching over 100 miles/hour. While lacrosse injuries have been previously described, little published literature exists on lacrosse balls causing pulmonary contusion. We present a case of a 17-year-old male lacrosse player athlete who suffered a lacrosse ball strike to the left posterolateral chest, leading to a clinical presentation of local bruising, shortness of breath, and hemoptysis. Despite delayed arrival to the emergency room, where imaging revealed pulmonary contusion, multidisciplinary supportive management led to favorable clinical outcome with no residual effect on athletic ability and quality of life. Although pulmonary contusion may be a rare injury in the setting of thoracic trauma from lacrosse ball strikes, prompt evaluation and a high index of suspicion can rule out more life-threatening processes and ensure an excellent clinical prognosis.
