A Narrative Review of the Potential Injuries in Coastal Rowing Beach Sprint: An Approach to Improve Medical Care in Training and Competition.
Review in Cureus, 2026. 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
Coastal rowing beach sprint is scheduled for inclusion in the Olympic program at the Los Angeles 2028 Games. This discipline represents a modification of traditional Olympic rowing, featuring head-to-head competition that combines short beach sprints with an offshore rowing course around a buoy slalom before returning to shore. Compared with classic Olympic rowing, Beach Sprint rowing presents a distinct injury profile, with the potential to exacerbate injury patterns already common in rowing while introducing additional environmental hazards. Factors such as larger waves, stronger currents, and ocean swell may increase the incidence of acute traumatic injuries in a sport traditionally dominated by overuse injuries. Consequently, team physicians and medical personnel should be familiar with the specific risks and injury patterns associated with this discipline, ensure that appropriate medical equipment is readily available near the course, and establish efficient procedures for safe and rapid evacuation of athletes from the beach. Additionally, the provision of adequate shade, access to fresh water for cleansing potential pathogen entry sites, and appropriate protective equipment in conditions of high waves or strong winds are important measures to reduce the risk of injury and infection.
