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

In the world of elite soccer, or football as we call it in the UK, a player who cannot play for any length of time costs the team money and team performance. The time to return to play (RTP) is crucial in any player's career, and the use of ultrasound-guided ultrasound injections has become important in the management of injury. In this article, I will explain the importance of good practice when performing these procedures and the use of steroids, sodium hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and other therapies in achieving the goal of decreasing the time of RTP for the footballer. KEY POINTS: •Injection therapies are routine practice in maintaining and treating soccer injuries. •Injection therapies can be safely performed under ultrasound guidance.
