Upper extremity lacrosse injuries presenting to United States emergency departments - 10 year review.
Article in JSES reviews, reports, and techniques, 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
Background: Lacrosse is a team-based recreational sport that has experienced a marked increase in popularity over the past 2null decades. Despite this growth, limited epidemiologic data currently exist regarding upper extremity (UE) injuries in this athletic population. The current study characterizes national U.S. trends and diagnoses of orthopedic-related UE injuries that presented to the emergency department from 2014 to 2023. Methods: Data were collected from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System using specific inclusion criteria to identify lacrosse-related UE injuries. Collected data were categorized by anatomical location and diagnosis, and national estimates were calculated by applying statistical weights assigned by National Electronic Injury Surveillance System coders at participating emergency departments. Results: An estimated 38,731 lacrosse-related UE injuries occurred nationally during the study period. Of the 1,415 individual analyzed cases, the most commonly injured sites were the shoulder (n = 363, 25.6%), fingers (n = 289, 20.4%), lower arm (n = 263, 18.6%), wrist (n = 241, 17%), hand (n = 133, 9.4%), elbow (n = 90, 6.4%), and upper arm (n = 36, 2.5%). Fractures accounted for the majority of diagnoses (n = 621, 43.9%), with the lower arm (eg, forearm) being the most frequent fracture location. Conclusion: The overall incidence of injuries remained stable across this 10-year period, with a statistically significant decrease in 2020 (
