Epidemiological Characteristics of Pain Among Rowers: A Retrospective Questionnaire Study.
Article in Journal of pain research, 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
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the distribution, incidence, and high-risk technical phases of pain among rowers aged 12-24 in China. Methods: In 2024, a retrospective questionnaire survey was performed among 207 rowers. The questionnaire comprised four sections: (1) basic information; (2) rowing-related injury sites over the past year; (3) rowing-related pain sites over the past year; and (4) body locations of pain during rowing strokes in the past year and the specific technical phase when pain occurred. Pain was defined as any painful physical discomfort occurring while maintaining athletic capability. Rowing-related pain rate was standardized to rates per 1000 training sessions and per 1000 training hours, calculated using the Poisson distribution based on sex. Results: The overall pain rate was 24.2%, with 118 reported pain instances. The most common site was the lower back (16.1%), followed by the thigh and shoulder joint. The pain rate per 1000 training sessions was 1.94 (95% CI: 1.59-2.29), and per 1000 training hours was 0.41 (95% CI: 0.34-0.49). Both lower back and knee pain were significantly associated with the risk of shoulder pain. During rowing, approximately half of the athletes reported lower back pain, predominantly occurring during the drive phase. Conclusion: Approximately one-quarter of Chinese rowers experienced pain during training, with low back pain being the most commonly reported. Both lower back and knee pain are significantly associated with shoulder pain risk; and pain during rowing most frequently occurs in the drive phase. This study provides a theoretical basis for enhancing early injury prevention, optimizing athletic performance, and guiding.
