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

This study aimed to investigate the role of religion and spirituality (R/S) in sports-related injuries through a systematic review. The review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement and encompassed 14 studies that met the specified criteria. The selected studies were categorized into four primary areas: (1) the potential positive impact of R/S on the prevention of sports-related injuries, (2) R/S as a spiritual need during the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries, (3) the role of R/S as an effective coping strategy following sports injuries, and (4) the potential negative impact of Ramadan on the incidence of sports injuries. The findings of this study highlight that R/S plays at various stages of sports injuries, particularly for athletes with religious affiliations. Further research should delve deeper into specific psychological interventions based on R/S to contribute to preventing, treating, and rehabilitating sports injuries.
