Article in Cost effectiveness and resource allocation : C/E, 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
backgroundSports injuries are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide as sports and physical activities gain popularity. These injuries impose a significant burden on individuals and society. However, a limited understanding of the cost analysis of sports injuries in Southeast China exists.
objectiveThe objective is to explore the medical costs associated with sports injury surgery and related healthcare policies from a hospital perspective.
methodsWe conducted a prospective analysis of inpatient costs for sports injury surgeries at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from 2015 to 2022. The total expenditure was categorized into various components: general medical service, nursing service, imaging, rehabilitation, etc. These were analyzed based on the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) system, surgical type, year category, and age. Furthermore, we accessed authoritative economic data, such as standardized occupational salaries and cost estimations, to comprehensively depict the economic burden. We employed a generalized linear model to identify factors influencing costs and performed statistical comparisons across different demographic and clinical categories.
findingsAll values are expressed in 2022 Chinese Yuan (¥). A total of 8,804 hospitalized patients were registered. The median total expenditure is ¥38,691 (19680, 49640) (≈ 5749 US dollars), of which the S730 is the lowest ¥23,250 (8627, 31364) (≈ 3455 USD), and the S710 is the highest ¥61,626 (25990, 77122) (≈ 9157 USD). Grouped by year, the median in 2019-2020 was the highest at ¥42,008 (23095, 53281) (≈ 6242 USD), and the lowest in 2015-2016 was ¥30,903 (11517, 42954) (≈ 4592 USD). In terms of surgery type, Shoulder Arthroscopy has the highest median cost of ¥51,550 (40703, 60028) (≈ 7660 USD), and Ankle arthroscopy has the lowest median cost of ¥34,177 (29194, 38209) (≈ 5078 USD). In terms of age, the highest median cost was ¥44,306 (27807, 55588) (≈ 6583 USD) for > 65 years, and the lowest was ¥13,671 (5182, 15899) (≈ 2031 USD) for 1-12 years. Different age groups, genders, years of admission, ICF categories, surgical grades, occupation types, and arthroscopic surgery types significantly affect hospitalization costs.
conclusionThis study examined various aspects of surgery for sports injuries in Southeast China. Shoulder arthroscopy was the costliest procedure, with disposable medical materials being the primary expense. These findings offer valuable insights into expenditure patterns in this context.
