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

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation is an injury that can impair a professional goalkeeper's career. However, few studies have examined return to play (RTP) after surgery in professional goalkeepers. Purpose: To assess the RTP, pre- and postinjury performances, and market value of professional goalkeepers who suffered a shoulder dislocation. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Professional goalkeepers with a shoulder dislocation between 2011 and 2021 were included. Top European leagues were considered: Serie A (Italy), Premier League (England), Ligue 1 (France), LaLiga (Spain), and Bundesliga (Germany). Player age, height, position, injury history, RTP, and market value were retrieved from a publicly available website. The preinjury season (season -1), the injury season (season 0), and the 2 postinjury seasons (season +1 and season +2) were compared. Results: A total of 19 goalkeepers were included in the study with a mean age of 27.2 ± 5.22 years at the time of injury. All players underwent surgery. The mean RTP was 147.53 ± 64.23 days. The mean percentage minutes per season (MPS) in season -1 was 86.57% ± 13.89%, with a decrease to 37.34% ± 24.66% in the injury season and an increase to 72.72% ± 25.79% in season +1 and 62.69% ± 33.23% in season +2. Significant changes were found in MPS across the 4 analyzed seasons ( Conclusion: All professional goalkeepers returned to play at a competitive level with a significant reduction in the percentage of available minutes played in the 2 seasons after surgery. However, this injury does not seem to influence the market value of these players.
