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

Objectives: Design: Retrospective analysis. Methods: Medical records of 69 athletes (30 females, 39 males) who were part of the German national team between 2009 and 2020 were analyzed retrospectively based on a new standardized injury surveillance system published by the International Olympic Committee in 2020 Results: The average career duration of athletes on the German STSS national team was 10.9 ​± ​4.4 years, with each athlete accumulating 10,116 ​± ​4326 ​h of exposure to risk during training. A total of 371 orthopedic-traumatological injuries requiring medical consultation (IRMCs) were recorded, with an estimated incidence of 0.53 per 1000 ​h of exposure. 69.8 ​% of the observed injuries affected the lower extremities, primarily involving the knee and ankle. Joint injuries were the leading cause of IRMCs, accounting for 16.3 ​% of cases. The majority of IRMCs occurred during on-ice training (45.0 ​%), followed by off-ice training (30.0 ​%), and competitions (25.0 ​%). Conclusion: This was the first implementation based on a standardized injury surveillance system in STSS. Important information about career-related injuries and injury patterns resulted from the analyses. However, further prospective research is needed to support the prevention of health issues in STSS.
