A clavicular overuse injury in a teenage male gymnast: a rare case report.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Overuse injuries are frequent in young athletes, particularly in gymnasts. However, physeal injuries of the medial clavicle remain exceptionally rare. We report an unusual case highlighting the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 12.5-year-old male gymnast presented with progressive pain and swelling of the right sternoclavicular joint. Clinical evaluation was complemented by radiographs, MRI, and CT scans to assess the lesion. Imaging revealed irregularity and widening of the medial clavicular physis, associated with synovial capsular dehiscence and enlargement of the articular facet, without signs of infection or inflammation. CT confirmed disturbed endochondral ossification, consistent with a repetitive physeal injury. This case illustrates the susceptibility of growth plates to repetitive stress in paediatric athletes. Medial clavicular physeal injury should be considered in gymnasts with chronic sternoclavicular pain. MRI plays a key role in early and accurate diagnosis.
