1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Over the span of 25 years, the International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy (IFSPT) has grown from its founding in 2000 in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands to a Federation of more than 40 member organizations. The IFSPT was officially recognized as a member organization of the World Confederation for Physical Therapy in 2003. Since then, it has partnered with the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy (in 2010), defined the core competencies for sports physiotherapists, launched the pathway to become a Registered International Sports Physical Therapist, and inaugurated its own World Congress in 2015, with the sixth congress planned for December 2026. This perspective reviews these milestones, notes remaining global disparities, and outlines priorities in equity, digital health, and sustainability. Level of Evidence: 5.
