Prevalence and associated factors of pickleball-related injuries among Korean recreational players: a multi-tournament cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Pickleball participation has grown rapidly in South Korea, yet epidemiological data on injuries in Korean players remain limited. This study aimed to describe the 12-month prevalence and characteristics of pickleball-related injuries and to identify factors associated with injury occurrence in a multi-tournament sample of Korean recreational players. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered on-site at multiple national pickleball tournaments held in South Korea in 2025. Eligible participants ( Results: Twelve-month injury prevalence was 38.1% ( Conclusion: Approximately two in five Korean recreational pickleball players sustained an injury over 12 months, with lower extremity and overuse injuries predominating. Male sex and greater weekly playing volume were independently associated with injury occurrence, providing a basis for targeted prevention strategies in Korean pickleball populations.
