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 article explores the characterization of sports injuries among young athletes participating in the 2023 Paralympic School Games. Injuries during the physiological growth phase can not only compromise the development of sports skills but also harm the physical development expected for their age group. Adaptive mechanisms to training are the main determinants of the location of injuries, traumas and musculoskeletal complaints. This paper aimed to identify occurrence of sports injuries in para athletes during the 2023 School Paralympics. The study population consisted of students who participated in the national stage of the 2023 School Paralympics, held at the Paralympic Training Center in the state of São Paulo. The sample consisted of 640 para-athletes, 253 (60.5%) females and 387 (60.5%) males, with an average age of 14.06 years. Overall, 14.9% of the participants reported injuries/illness. The team with the highest percentage of injured members was from the state of Tocantins (14.8%). Most of the injured athletes had intellectual disabilities (41.46%), practiced athletics (56.9%) and were in the final years of elementary school (21.95%), with an average age of 14.56 years, and the majority were male (56.86%).
