Most Common Injuries in Resistance Training: Mechanisms, Therapeutic Interventions, and Preventive Strategies.
Review 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
Resistance training is a structured exercise modality aimed at enhancing strength, hypertrophy, and overall fitness. However, it carries an inherent risk of musculoskeletal injuries, particularly in the shoulder, lower back, knee, and wrist/hand. The most common injury mechanisms include muscle strains, tendon tears, tendinitis, and sprains, with acute injuries predominating. Key contributing factors are improper technique, excessive loading, insufficient recovery, and anabolic steroid use. While most injuries are mild and resolve with conservative management, severe cases may require surgical intervention. Prevention is paramount, emphasizing proper technique under professional supervision, progressive overload management, and athlete education. Resistance training itself serves as a protective measure against future injuries. Future research should further investigate the role of anabolic steroids in injury risk and refine sport-specific preventive strategies to optimize athlete safety and performance. A literature search of Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases was performed. Articles were searched in English using the following keywords: "weight training", "resistance exercise injuries", "weightlifting", "weightlifting injuries", and "resistance training injuries". This paper summarizes the data available in the literature on injuries in resistance training. It focuses on illustrating the most common injuries in strength sports disciplines, their mechanisms, treatment methods, rehabilitation, and prevention.
