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

aimTo describe the epidemiology of injuries related to winter sports in patients younger than 15 years in France.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational multicentre cohort study of patients younger than 15 years who were seen by mountain-community general practitioners for winter-sports injuries in 1999-2022.

resultsOf the 108 619 patients (mean age, 11.4 ± 2.8 years), 76 724 (70.6%), 26 186 (24.1%) and 2132 (2.0%) were injured while skiing, snowboarding and sledding, respectively. Helmet use was noted in 50 164 (46.2%) patients and increased over time but remained low among sledders. A collision was the mechanism in 12.3% of patients overall and 32.1% of sledders. The most common injuries overall were wrist fractures (48.5%), head and trunk injuries (42.3%), and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears (23.7%), with wrist fractures being more common in beginners (24.7%) and head/trunk injuries and ACL tears in advanced participants (18.3% and 2.6%, respectively). Only 3699 (3.4%) patients were admitted after the general-practitioner visit, notably for leg or ankle fractures (9.5%).

conclusionWinter sports-related injuries vary according to age, sex, skill level and sport. Admission rates are low but might be further decreased by better prevention. Protective measures should be tailored to each sport and individual.
