The preparticipation evaluation of the young athlete-an update to what the orthopedic surgeon needs to know.
Review in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. 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
The preparticipation evaluation (PPE) continues to be a recommended and widely used tool in identifying athletes with health conditions or injury risks that may impact their athletic participation. In the last 10 years, updates to the PPE mirror the increasing impacts of sport specialization, level of competition, importance of mental health in injury risk and recovery, research on cardiovascular and concussive health in youth athletes, and increased awareness of metabolic demands placed on both male and female athletes. The PPE at this snapshot in time exists within an evolving landscape of recommendations. However, it continues to present a vital opportunity for health care providers, preferably within the athlete's "medical home", to discuss anticipatory guidance, intervene on injury risk, and establish a baseline for future monitoring as the athlete enters competition. As mentioned, there continues to be a need for further research and development, but the orthopedic surgeon should be aware of the purpose the PPE currently serves given the intersectionality of their field with young athletes at the brink or in the midst of injury.
