Long-Term Health-Related Quality of Life After Sport-Related Injury in Youth Athletes: A Longitudinal Cohort Study.

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: Long-term effects of sport-related injury (SRI) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in young athletes are unknown. Purposes: To compare 2-year long-term HRQoL outcomes between injured young athletes and available normative data for healthy youth (NDHY) and evaluate these outcomes by sex, age, surgical status, and sport attrition status. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients ages 8 to 18 years who presented to 1 of 3 sports medicine clinics with SRI were included in the study. Baseline sport and injury history were collected. HRQoL was measured at 1, 12, and 24 months after injury via the PROMIS Pediatric-25 v2.0. Six HRQoL domains were analyzed by injury type (acute, overuse, concussion) with a mixed model for repeated measures. Scores >0.5 standard deviations from the reference mean were considered statistically significant. Results: 357 patients completed baseline surveys (36% male, 64% female; mean age, 14.4 years) at 1 month after injury. There were 119 (33.3%) acute injuries, 42 (11.8%) concussions, and 196 (54.9%) overuse injuries. Of the sample, 336 (94.2%) were athletes and 21 (5.8%) were nonathletes. Cohort retention was 64% (228/357) at 12 months and 35% (126/357) at 24 months. Patients with overuse injury showed worse mobility at 1 month after injury compared with NDHY (mean [95% CI], 44.4 [43.1-45.6]), with resolution of this finding at 12- and 24-month follow-up (50.8 [48.9-52.7] and 51.8 [49.4-54.2], respectively). Patients who were older, were female, quit sport, or underwent surgery showed worse mobility compared with NDHY at 1 month after injury (44.0 [41.9-46.1], 44.7 [43.5-45.9], 40.8 [38.4-43.2], 34.3 [30.6-37.9], respectively), with similar resolution at 12- and 24-month follow-up. Female patients showed worse anxiety/fear, depression/sadness, and pain interference than male patients at 1-month follow-up ( Conclusion: SRI in youth athletes does not negatively affect long-term HRQoL outcomes 24 months after injury. Female sex was found to be associated with worse short- and long-term HRQoL outcomes.
