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

Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to treat sports injuries, but evidence-based medical guidance for their standardized and rational use is lacking. This guideline working group identified clinically important issues, obtained the full opinions of patients and clinical staff, and discussed them with the expert group. Based on evidence from the literature, the "clinical practice guidelines for topical NSAIDs in the treatment of sports injuries" were formulated following the methods and principles of international guidelines. According to these guidelines, 7 clinical concerns were ultimately selected, and 22 recommendations were formed. These included the status, indications, contraindications, efficacy, combined application, use in special populations, adverse reactions, and countermeasures of topical NSAIDs in the treatment of sports injuries. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide evidence-based recommendations for practitioners in the fields of orthopedics, sports medicine, rehabilitation medicine, and sports science, as well as other fields, in the treatment of sports injuries to promote more standardized and rational use of topical NSAIDs.
