Epidemiological Study of Rescue Records in University Karate Competitions in Japan.

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
Objectives: In Japan, Methods: Data on sex, university year, injury site (head and neck, face, trunk, upper limbs, lower limbs), injury type, and examination and treatment details of individuals who were injured while performing Results: Records of 67 tournaments and medical interventions for 597 male and 156 female patients were identified. The number of interventions for injuries to the head and neck, face, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs was 85, 337, 22, 105, and 164, respectively. Sixty-two patients, with 23 and 25 injuries in total to the head and neck area and the face, respectively, required transport by ambulance. Conclusions: The present study revealed that male competitors suffered more injuries, that the most common site of injury was the face, and that injuries to the head and neck area and the face were most likely to be severe. The high frequency of facial injuries in combat sports warrants greater involvement of plastic surgeons in their treatment and prevention.
