Table tennis musculoskeletal injuries in young high-level players: a 17-year retrospective cohort study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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: Table tennis is a racket sport that has been growing in popularity in recent years. The current scientific literature on injuries remains limited. We aimed to assess the incidence and nature of injuries in young table tennis players. Methods: We conducted a 17-year retrospective single-center cohort study in the Department of Sports Medicine at a University Hospital. One hundred and thirty-nine national-level table tennis athletes aged 13.3 ± 2.1 years were studied. The cohort was divided into four groups according to age categories (U11: 8-11 years, U13: 12-13 years, U15: 14-15 years, and U19: 16-19 years). The main outcome measure was the injury rate per season and per athlete. Results: The injury rate was 1.2 injuries per 1000 hours of exposure and 0.7 injuries per season per athlete. There was no significant difference in injury rate between age categories ( Conclusion: Most of the injuries were chronic overuse injuries. A thorough understanding of the nature of injuries and their mechanisms of occurrence is essential to improving medical management as well as implementing effective preventive measures.
