[Muscle injuries in sport : High clinical relevance and diagnostic challenges].
Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
Muscle injuries are among the most frequent sports-related injuries, particularly affecting the lower extremities in high-performance sports. This article provides a structured, evidence-based approach to diagnostics, treatment and prevention. A key aspect is the differentiation between functional and structural muscle injuries, as this distinction determines the treatment strategies. Despite modern imaging the clinical examination remains the diagnostic gold standard, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings must always be critically interpreted in the clinical context due to relevant discrepancies. Acute management is based on the POLICE principle, emphasizing early functional, load-adapted treatment. Eccentric strengthening exercises represent the most effective preventive strategy and significantly reduce the risk of injury. Return to play decisions should not rely solely on pain resolution but must include functional and structural recovery criteria to minimize reinjury risk.
