Challenges confronted by pediatricians in managing pediatric athletes: awareness on pediatric sports medicine.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn our country, a considerable number of athletes are under the age of 18, and concerns regarding their physical, psychosocial, and athletic development are increasingly prominent. In the US, Pediatric Sports Medicine (PSM) , which has yet to be established in Turkey and many European countries, deals with the care and monitoring of young athletes. This study aimed to explore the challenges pediatricians face during preparticipation evaluation (PPE) of young athletes, the difficulties encountered in managing this specific population, and their perspectives on how the establishment of a PSM division could contribute, particularly in addressing legal responsibilities. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn online questionnaire was comprised of 12 questions, which addressed participants' personal and professional features, as well as which specialties pediatric athletes were mostly referred, types of sports of pediatric athletes, challenges experienced with the athlete and his/her parents during PPE, their awareness on PSM fellowship abroad, and their opinions on interests of PSM and establishment of PSM in our country.
resultsA total of 360 pediatricians were recruited. Of the participants, 89.7% reported challenges with parents due to requesting immediate issuance of reports and 52.2% due to requesting reports without the child being present. Of the participants, 69.2% had never heard about PSM. Of the participants, 83.3% stated that establishment of PSM in Turkey would definitely make contribution, and 73.9% stated that PSM should definitely be established.
conclusionsAwareness of PSM is low among pediatricians. The establishment of PSM in Turkey is widely supported and considered to be beneficial.
