Epidemiology of injuries at the first transplant football world cup.

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
Introduction: Recreational football is widely recognized as a health-promoting activity, with proven long-term benefits for physical and mental well-being. For transplant recipients, it offers additional value by supporting recovery, reintegration, and quality of life. To promote safe participation in sport among this population, the World Transplant Games Federation launched the 1st World Transplant Football Cup. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of injuries sustained during the tournament. Methods: Matches were conducted according to modified FIFA 7-a-side rules, tailored to ensure the safety of transplanted organs and tissues. Each team included up to 16 players of any age or gender. Matches lasted 20 min, with unlimited substitutions. Games were played on two standard 60 × 40 m pitches with 3 m goals. Medical coverage was ensured by two sports physicians present throughout the event. Injury data were collected using a standardized form for all requests for medical intervention (RfMI). Results: A total of 172 transplant recipients participated (kidney: Conclusions: Despite a moderate incidence of injury, the majority were minor and no transplant-related injuries were recorded. These findings support the safety and feasibility of recreational football in transplant recipients, reinforcing its role as a beneficial component of long-term health promotion.
