A 10-Year Analysis of Resistance Training-Related Injuries Treated in Emergency Departments: Are Patterns Shifting With More Participation of Women Over Time?
Article in Journal of strength and conditioning research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
abstractCoffey, K, Pezzullo, L, Nixon, RM, Bolling, J, and Vincent, HK. A 10-year analysis of resistance training-related injuries treated in emergency departments: Are patterns shifting with more participation of women over time? J Strength Cond Res 40(1): e1-e8, 2026-This study reports current sex-related injury patterns associated with resistance training-related data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). This retrospective study includes patients seeking care for "resistance training" activity as defined by NEISS, encompassing the use of weight machines, barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells. The prevalence, type and anatomical site of injuries, and hospital outcome were compared by sex. In total, 15,348 cases were included (20.40% female; 22.8 ± 6.3 years). Females sought care more frequently than males for accidental injuries including fracture (odds ratio [OR] = 1.27 [1.11-1.46]), contusion/laceration (OR = 1.52 [1.37-1.69]) and concussion/internal injuries (OR = 2.45 [2.02-2.97]). Males had 20 and 35% greater odds for reporting to the emergency department (ED) for exertional sprains/strains and dislocations, respectively (both p <0.05). Sites more frequently treated in the ED for females were the head, leg, and ankle/foot (all p < 0.050). The trunk was the most commonly injured site for both males and females (40.5 and 31.1%, respectively). Males had more crush injuries (3.10 vs. 2.20%, respectively) and injuries related to pressing movement (7.20 vs. 3.30%, respectively; p < 0.050). Females had more injuries related to dropped equipment (18.50 vs. 12.10%, respectively), falls (8.30 vs. 5.60%, respectively), and being hit by equipment (6.1 vs. 4.10%, respectively) than males ( p < 0.050). Gym environments were the most common injury sites for both sexes. Compared with earlier NEISS data, persistent sex differences exist with injury presentation in the ED, with an increase in concussions/internal injuries in females. Appropriate training regarding set-up and lift execution is critical to minimize these injuries. Prospective tracking that links specific type of lifting activity with specific injuries may provide a better understanding of how to reduce or prevent injuries.
