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: This study aims to investigate the prevalence, patterns, and management strategies of golf-related injuries among elite adolescent golfers, while also examining the relationship between training volume and injury occurrence. Design: Cross-sectional survey study. Method: The study involved elite adolescent golfers ( Results: The 12-month injury incidence rates were 0.229, 0.624, and 0.100 per 1000 h dedicated to golf practice, competition, and their aggregation, respectively. The primary injury locations identified were the mid back (47.06%), ankle (29.41%), lower back (29.41%), and knee (23.52%). A total of 17 participants (30.36%) reported at least one injury, with 3 (17.65%) being recurrences. Of the documented injuries, 8 (47.00%) were classified as golf-related, while 9 (52.94%) resulted from other activities. No significant correlation was found between training volume and injury risk (OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.87-1.06). Conclusions: Elite adolescent golfers exhibited 30.36% injury prevalence with an incidence rate of 0.100 per 1000 h. Mid-back (47.06%), ankle (29.41%), and lower back (29.41%) were most affected. Training volume showed no significant injury association (OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.87-1.06), possibly due to limited sample size.
