Incidence and Trends in Paediatric Trampoline-Related Injuries.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionTrampolining in the United Kingdom (UK) has seen a major increase in popularity among children, leading to a rising incidence of associated injuries. While international studies have described the injury patterns, recent UK-specific epidemiological data are limited. This study investigates the incidences and trends of trampoline-related orthopaedic injuries within a UK NHS Trust.
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted at a Trust with two district general hospitals. Electronic medical records were analysed for all patients under 18 years of age referred to the Trauma & Orthopaedics (T&O) department from 13/10/2023 until 01/11/2024 with a trampoline-related orthopaedic injury. Data extracted included age, sex, injury type, anatomical location, and management.
resultsFrom 3,025 paediatric referrals to T&O, 96 (3.2%) were trampoline-related. The mean age was 8.7 years old. The majority of patients were female (59.4%, n=57). Fractures constituted the majority of injuries (n=57). The ankle was the most common site of injury overall (27.1%, n=26), and for both fractures (n=14) and soft tissue injuries (n=12). The wrist and elbow were the next most common fracture sites, with similar frequency (n=11). The admission rate was low (2.1%, n=2); only one patient required surgical intervention. A clear bimodal seasonal variation was observed, with incidence peaking during April (n=14) and August (n=12).
conclusionsThis study provides contemporary UK data demonstrating that orthopaedic trampoline-related injuries, while common, predominantly result in minor fractures manageable conservatively. The ankle is the most common site. The strong correlation with seasonal spikes highlights a critical period for targeted public health initiatives and awareness campaigns to minimise risk. Despite the general minor nature of these injuries, thorough assessment is essential to recognise potential neurovascular compromise.
