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
backgroundInjury and illness prevention practices in competitive snow sports must be better understood among stakeholders. In particular, there is a need for a greater understanding of what context-specific stakeholders require for prevention. Therefore, this study surveyed stakeholders' current practices, needs, responsibilities and knowledge dissemination preferences related to injury and illness prevention in competitive snow sports and described the main commonalities and differences between stakeholder groups.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study that used an online survey developed using Kipling's principle (the "5W1H" method) and targeted athletes, coaches, team staff, ski racing suppliers, and representatives from all competition levels and all competitive snow sports governed by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation. The data were analysed following both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analyses.
resultsMost of the 436 respondents believed in and reported needing more information on injury and illness prevention. The participants stated that the main goal of prevention was to avoid injuries and minimise their time away from being on snow, and they stressed their different underlying motivations. Despite the differences across subgroups, participants highlighted knee and head injuries and concussions as their primary injury prevention targets and priorities for additional information. Respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses were reported as their main targets of illness prevention, but more information on all illnesses was reported. Current practices and priorities for additional information fell under athlete-, equipment-, snow/environment-, and course-related prevention areas. Moreover, stakeholders highlighted their need for more information on mental health and training. Shared responsibilities were identified across the development, dissemination, and implementation of prevention, along with stakeholders' preferred communication channels.
conclusionsOur study provides meaningful insights across athlete, equipment-, snow/environment-, and course-related prevention areas related to snow sports, roles, and competition levels. These insights may inform the development, dissemination and further implementation of any tailored and context-driven preventive measure by better addressing end-users' needs. These findings may support successful future preventive interventions by providing key elements and a clear path to improve athletes' health and safety.
