Injury Patterns and Conservative Management in Elite Handball: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Diagnosis and Rehabilitation.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundMusculoskeletal injuries are frequent in handball players due to the high-impact nature of the sport. Accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment are essential for recovery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the gold standard for evaluating complex sports-related injuries. This case report aims to assess the role of MRI in diagnosing trauma in professional handball players and the effectiveness of individualized treatment approaches.
methodsFour male members of the "Politehnica" Timișoara first team who sustained match- or training-related injuries between January 2023 and December 2024 underwent an 1.5 T MRI. Individualized conservative protocols included rest, NSAIDs, physiotherapy, and graded kinesitherapy.
resultsThe first case involved a right back with a knee hematoma and a vastus lateralis tear. Conservative treatment led to recovery. The second case was a left back with peripheral neuropathy caused by hamstring avulsion at the ischial tuberosity. Conservative therapy alleviated symptoms. The third case involved a left winger with adductor muscle tears, which recovered with conservative management. The fourth case, a goalkeeper, had a type III navicular fracture misdiagnosed on radiography, correctly identified via MRI and treated conservatively.
conclusionsMRI is invaluable in diagnosing handball-related injuries, enabling accurate assessments and effective individualized treatment, resulting in early recovery.
