Associations Between Self-Reported Injury History, Physical Complaints, and Medical Attention Injury During Army Basic Military Training.
Article in Military medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionEffective and easily implementable methods to reduce the incidence and burden of injury during Army basic military training (BMT) are desirable. This study therefore investigated (1) the association between prior injury history and medical attention (MA) injury and (2) the association and accuracy of daily self-reported physical complaints on the incidence of MA injury, during Army BMT. MATERIALS AND
methodsRecruits (n = 625, male = 524; female = 101; age: 22 ± 6 years [range: 17-55 years]) completed a 12-month prior injury history questionnaire during week 1 and throughout BMT reported physical complaints daily, using a modified Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC-H). Medical attention injuries were recorded via physiotherapy reports. Cox proportional hazard regressions explored the association between prior injury and MA injury. Generalized linear mixed-effects models were used to model the association between OSTRC-H responses and an MA incident injury within 7 days. The predictive ability and accuracy of OSTRC-H responses were also assessed.
resultsPrior injury was not significantly associated with a greater risk of MA injury during BMT. Self-reported physical complaints effecting "participation" ("Full participation, but with injury/illness": OR = 2.23, 95% CI 1.97-2.52; "Reduced participation due to injury/illness": OR = 3.19, 95% CI 2.54-4.00), "severity" ("To a mild extent": OR = 2.19, 95% CI 1.91-2.51; "To a moderate extent": OR = 2.83, 95% CI 2.38-3.36; "To a severe extent": OR = 4.50, 95% CI 3.26-6.21), and "location" (OR = 2.19, 95% CI 1.96-2.45) were significantly associated with greater odds of MA incident injury within 7 days. Spine (OR = 4.39, 95% CI 3.07-6.30), upper extremity (OR = 2.45, 95% CI 1.76-3.40), and lower extremity (OR = 2.73, 95% CI 2.40-3.40) physical complaints were significantly associated with an MA incident injury to the corresponding general body region within 7 days. Using the presence of a physical complaint to indicate the occurrence of an MA incident injury within 7 days resulted in a high number of false positives and false negatives (area under the curve: 0.51-0.66).
conclusionsIndependently, self-reported 12-month prior injury was not significantly associated with a greater risk of an MA injury during BMT. Daily self-reported physical complaints may however flag increased MA injury risk, which could help prevent more severe injuries.
