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
This study aimed to identify structural relationships between sports participation patterns and injury risk factors among older adults using data mining techniques, addressing limitations of prior descriptive research. Data from the 2024 Sports Safety Accident Survey were analyzed, including 352 adults aged 65 years and older. Eight key variables related to participation and injury were examined using association rule analysis with the Apriori algorithm. High-risk injury patterns were associated with irregular participation in non-sport-specific locations during late-night hours and with excessive movement during prolonged, daily participation, particularly in the morning. Injuries most frequently affected major joints of the upper and lower limbs. Sports injuries in older adults arise from complex interactions among temporal, environmental, and behavioral factors. These findings support the development of targeted safety guidelines and injury prevention strategies tailored to participation patterns in the aging population.
