Towards the strategies of return to sport after lateral ankle Sprain: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Annals of medicine, 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
backgroundReturning to sport (RTS) from lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is multifaceted and interdisciplinary. This systematic review aimed to investigate the factors involved in RTS and further establish a standard paradigm of RTS to treat and rehabilitate the LAS.
methodsFour electronic databases, including PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus, were searched until March 1, 2024. The literature was identified, screened, evaluated, managed and data was extracted by developing inclusion criteria based on the PICO model for systematic reviews. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Downs and Black checklist and the measurement parameters were summarised.
resultsThis systematic review included 20 papers with a mean quality score of 75.36±10.40%. Participant's information, research content, purpose, methods, and interventions were extracted and summarized. The included articles were divided into four categories for further discussion, including (1) rehabilitation measures for LAS, (2) criteria for RTS of LAS, (3) performance assessment after RTS of LAS, and (4) the relationship between criteria and time of RTS for LAS.
conclusionRTS for LAS is a continuous process, which is influenced by complex factors, such as the injury extent, injury causation, treatment protocols, and recovery criteria. The standard paradigms of RTS rehabilitation for LAS is still lacking in the literature. Current study identified the procedure and timeline of RTS for LAS. Findings may provide theoretical basis, clinical implications, and decision-making guidance for the RTS of LAS patients.
