Diffuse Bilateral Multifocal Bone Stress Injuries in a 19-Year-Old Male Military Trainee: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are common among high-performance athletes and military trainees. BSIs typically present with point tenderness, loading pain, and nighttime discomfort, and most involve only one or two bones, with clinical symptoms roughly proportional to the degree of osseous injury. We present the case of a 19-year-old male engaged in high-intensity Air Force Special Warfare training who initially presented with vague low back, thigh, and foot pain and was ultimately diagnosed with diffuse multifocal grade 3 and 4a BSIs involving numerous bones of the bilateral lower extremities. What makes this case unusual is the extent and severity of osseous injury relative to the patient's comparatively mild and nonspecific symptoms. Further, the case demonstrates the complexity of bone stress pathology and highlights the possibility that reduced physical activity during adolescence contributed to later bone fragility.
