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

objectiveThis study aimed to gather and represent experts' perspectives on the gender- and/or sex-specific factors relevant to injury risk for female/woman/girl athletes.

methodsMixed-methods concept mapping study. Sixty-six experts including cisgendered (1) athlete/coach/carers, (2) clinicians, (3) sports science/high-performance professional, (4) administrators and (5) researchers brainstormed statements to a prompt ('What gender-specific and/or sex-specific factors do you think contribute to injury risk among female, woman and girl athletes?') before thematically sorting and rating the statements/factors for importance and modifiability (5-point Likert scales).

resultsTen clusters were constructed from 101 unique statements/factors. The clusters (number of statements) include: (1)

conclusionTen gender- and/or sex-specific clusters, ranging from organisational to biological considerations and societal influences, were defined that could impact female/woman/girl athlete injury risk factors. Advancing stronger evidence for gender and sex appropriate injury prevention is urgently needed.
