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

Frisbee has gained increasing popularity and is characterized by high-intensity running, rapid changes in direction, jumping, and indirect physical contact, exposing players to a risk of injury. This study aimed to determine the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in frisbee athletes who participated in the World Beach Ultimate Championship in Portugal, and the risk factors associated with these injuries. The sample included 484 athletes aged 18-64 years, of whom 275 (56.8%) were male. Data was collected using a digital questionnaire. Across their frisbee practice, 391 (80.8%) athletes reported at least one injury, totalling 1685 injuries. A total of 49 (10.1%) athletes reported an injury in the last 7 days. Over the past 12 months, 211 (43.6%) athletes sustained injuries, totalling 358 cases. The injury proportion was 0.44 (95% CI: 39.2-48.0), and the injury rate was 0.67 injuries per 1000 h of training. The most frequent injuries were muscle strains (18.86%) and sprains (13.43%), mainly affecting the ankle (62; 17.71%) and knee (54; 15.43%). Repetitive movements (84; 22.11%) and changes in direction (62; 16.32%) were the most common mechanisms. Athletes with equal or more than 11 years of practice had a higher injury risk (OR = 1.84; 95% CI: 1.16-2.91;
