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

objectiveReducing the incidence of hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) is a priority for soccer clubs. However, robust multifactorial predictive models are lacking and potential predictors such as sprint kinematics, performance fatigability, and psychological variables have been overlooked. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a preliminary parsimonious multifactorial model to predict players at risk of HSI through preseason screening. MATERIALS AND

methodPsychological, physiological, kinematic, performance fatigability and health-related variables were collected for 120 regional and national soccer players during the 2022 preseason. HSIs were prospectively recorded over the entire soccer season. After variable selection, logistic regressions with the Wald backward stepwise method were used to refine the model. The predictive abilities of the model and of the individual variables were determined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

resultsTwenty-nine players sustained an HSI during the follow-up period. The final model included eight variables: age, sex, HSI history, knee flexor performance fatigability, sprint performance (best sprint time and maximal theoretical velocity V

conclusionUsing a multidisciplinary approach and measurements of only a few variables during preseason screening, the current model tends to demonstrate high accuracy in identifying soccer players at risk of HSI.
