Return to Sport, Reinjury Rate, and Tissue Changes after Muscle Strain Injury: A Narrative Review.
Review in Translational sports medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
A major challenge in sports medicine is to facilitate the fastest possible recovery from injury without increasing the risk of subsequent reruptures, and thus effective rehabilitation programs should balance between these two factors. The present review focuses on examining the role of different resistance training interventions in rehabilitation of acute muscle strain in the time frame from injury until return to sport (RTS), the rate of reinjuries, and tissue changes after injury. Randomized, controlled trials dealing with a component of resistance training in their rehabilitation protocols, as well as observational studies on tissue morphology and tissue changes as a result to muscle strain injuries, were included. The mean time for RTS varied from 15 to 86 days between studies (
