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

Background: Musculoskeletal fibrosis can be frequently observed in the scope of sports medicine; however, there is no consensus regarding its definition, nor do we have substantial knowledge regarding its epidemiology or best therapeutic alternatives. Purpose: The GESMUTE (Group for the Study of the Muscle Tendon System) Epidemiology Group, integrated into SETRADE (The Spanish Society for Sports Traumatology) propose a definition for musculoskeletal fibrosis within the field of physical exercise. Study Design: Consensus statement. Methods: A bibliographic review of the existing scientific evidence and consensus was developed by the authors on the definition of fibrosis in the field of sport. Results: Our working group proposed the definition of fibrosis as an abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix, usually with regards to an injury complication, showing various clinical findings affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, articular capsules and nerves which, in turn, mars the recovery process, causing symptoms and finally leading to relapses. Conclusion: Fibrosis in sport may be considered as an abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix, usually related to complications of an injury, showing a wide range of clinical symptomatology, affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, articular capsules, and nerves.
