Power Slap Competitions as a Novel Mechanism of Traumatic Injury.
Article in Cureus, 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
Professional Power Slap fighting has been an official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) sport since January of 2023. Competitors both deliver and sustain repeated open-hand slaps to the face, often resulting in knockouts (KOs). The sport is growing in popularity, but there is currently no medical literature describing Power Slap fighting and the unique traumatic injuries it can precipitate. Power Slap fighting is a novel mechanism of injury, which has a different set of considerations than other UFC sports. This is the first documented case of a patient presenting after an unofficial and unsanctioned bout of Power Slap fighting and the traumatic craniofacial sequelae that befell him. He presented to the emergency department (ED) in significant pain with trismus and dental trauma requiring urgent surgical management. His course was complicated by required revision surgery and likely permanent nerve damage. His case and the lessons learned by those participating in his care are useful to future ED clinicians caring for their own Power Slap patients.
