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

purpose of reviewThe objective of this review is to synthesize the current evidence that is available within the literature regarding injuries in cricket. This stems from epidemiology, mechanisms, management, prevention strategies, and the long-term outcomes of musculoskeletal injuries induced by cricket. RECENT

findingsPrior literature has emphasized the importance of lumbar spinal health in fast bowlers with pathology onset. Yet, there is now an increased body of literature examining community cricket and adolescent players. Furthermore, injury prevention and workload monitoring for players, particularly female cohorts have also gained more recent attention as well. Synthesizing information from the literature has shown that fast bowlers tend to experience the highest injury rate. Most specifically, lumbar stress injuries and hamstring strains. Various other forms of injuries exist as well, such as to the shoulder and hand, and related fractures. There has traditionally been minimal research within the domain of female cohorts as well as adolescents. The biomechanics of cricket is gaining more awareness, and more studies are coming from sources outside of the UK and Australia.
