Secondary prevention of musculoskeletal sports injuries: a scoping review of early detection and early intervention strategies.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 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
Background: Early detection and early intervention of musculoskeletal sports injuries is a promising, but underexplored area. Poor conceptual clarity of secondary prevention strategies currently hampers research and clinical application. Methods: We conducted a scoping review, aimed at summarizing secondary prevention strategies of musculoskeletal sports injuries into recommendations for researchers, athletes, and clinicians. We searched seven databases for the terms: sport, injury, and early detection/intervention. Results: Nine studies reported early detection/intervention strategies. Strength testing is a promising approach to early injury detection. We recommend caution in interpretating early imaged abnormalities due to heterogeneous findings. Observing early symptoms appears the most adopted pragmatic approach. Early rehabilitation and passive therapies seem effective as early interventions. Early load reduction is likely difficult to implement, due to performance expectations. Conclusions: The evidence for early detection/intervention is limited. Further research into assessing early detection/intervention strategies and their use in practice, is necessary to formulate concrete recommendations.
