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
Background: Adolescents and young adults comprise a growing cohort at risk for exercise-related injuries. Recent studies compare the effects of cardiovascular and strength exercise on mental health, cardiovascular disease, and mortality; however, there remains a gap in the literature about acute injuries from these exercise types. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose was to compare acute orthopaedic injuries sustained during cardiovascular exercise versus strength training in adolescents and young adults. A secondary aim was to compare the distribution of age, sex, and injury characteristics with the types of exercise. Finally, it was hypothesized that injuries would have increased throughout the previous 5 years. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: This retrospective study used a National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) query to identify patients aged 14 to 22 years with orthopaedic injuries due to exercise activities from 2018 to 2022. Injuries were attributed to cardiovascular exercise or strength training, which included weightlifting. Descriptive data were reported, and statistical comparisons were conducted via chi-square tests, Fisher exact tests, or linear regressions. Results: The NEISS query identified 3105 cases. A total of 1474 (50.9%) cases were attributed to cardiovascular exercise and 1423 (49.1%) to strength training-including 1136 (39.2%) to weightlifting. Also, 48.4% of cardiovascular-related and 75.1% of strength-related injuries occurred in men. The number of patients with cardiovascular-related (b = -7.983; Conclusion: Thousands of adolescents and young adults are injured each year while exercising. Strength training injuries were more common in men, but cardiovascular exercise injuries were comparable between men and women. Young age was associated with higher injury rates from all exercise types. Cardiovascular and strength exercises were associated with different injury patterns. Future studies should consider longer periods and overall participation to compare the incidence between cardiovascular and strength exercise.
