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: Ankle sprains are common injuries in sports involving jumping and rapid directional changes. This study aimed to assess the incidence of ankle sprains among nonprofessional athletes in futsal, volleyball, and basketball and to identify associated risk factors-including sport type, previous ankle injuries, and leg dominance. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 72 nonprofessional university athletes, with 24 participants each from futsal, volleyball, and basketball teams. Participants were selected using simple random sampling. Data collected included demographic information, ankle sprain incidence, history of previous injuries, and leg dominance. Logistic regression and odds ratios (OR) were utilized to analyze relationships between variables. Results: The overall incidence of ankle sprains was 43%, with lateral sprains being the most common type. A previous history of ankle injuries was reported by 54% of participants. Basketball players had the highest incidence (58%), followed by volleyball (37.5%) and futsal (33.3%). No significant association was found between sport type and ankle sprain occurrence in either crude or adjusted analyses (crude Conclusion: The findings indicate that sport type does not significantly influence ankle sprain occurrence; however, a previous history of ankle sprains is a strong predictor of future injuries.
