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
Background: Evidence is mixed and conflicting regarding emergent ankle injuries by sex and age in basketball. Purpose: To determine during the time frame of 2014-2023 (1) the prevalence and patterns of basketball-related ankle injuries admitted to emergency departments (EDs) and (2) whether prevalence and mechanisms of emergent ankle-related basketball injuries differ by age and sex. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Patients who sought care in the ED and were part of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System were categorized by sex and age groups (13-18, 19-24, and 25-35 years). Annual injury national estimate trends were compared over time by age and sex using linear regression analyses. Injury diagnoses, prevalence, mechanisms, settings (practice vs competition), and treatment dispositions were compared by age and sex using chi-square tests. Odds ratios (ORs) were determined using logistic regression. Results: There were 20,303 patients included in this analysis (15.3% female). Female players sought ED care more frequently than male players for ankle sprains/strains (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.19-1.47) and less often for fractures (OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.48-0.67) and dislocations (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.21-0.99) than male players (all Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that sex- and age-related differences exist among diagnoses and injury mechanisms that involved ED visits. Targeted prevention strategies could include neuromuscular and balance programs for youth, ankle stability and proprioception programs for female players, and dorsiflexion mobility and landing biomechanics programs for male players.
