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

Sports-related injuries remain a major challenge in team sports, with important consequences for athlete health, performance, and team success. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor-based monitoring technologies have enabled the integration of large volumes of training, competition, and physiological data to support injury prediction and risk modelling. However, the literature is characterised by substantial methodological diversity, limiting the ability to draw consistent conclusions. Hence, this scoping review aimed to map the existing evidence on the use of AI and sensor-based monitoring technologies for injury prediction and risk modelling in team sports, and to identify key methodological trends and research gaps. The scoping review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Systematic searches were performed in PubMed and Scopus. Eligible studies included team-sport athletes and applied AI or machine learning approaches to predict injury occurrence, injury risk, or related outcomes using data derived from wearable or monitoring systems. Data were charted on study characteristics, sports and competition level, data sources, modelling techniques, validation strategies, and performance metrics. The database search yielded 123 records (PubMed:
