1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Early sport specialization (ESS), defined as intensive, year-round training in a single sport at the exclusion of others, has become increasingly prevalent among youth athletes. This trend has coincided with a rise in overuse injuries, and premature attrition. Concurrently, advances in wearable sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) enable real-time quantification of training load, biomechanical deviations, and recovery. However, a translational gap remains: existing AI surveillance models are predominantly validated in elite adult male cohorts, leaving youth athletes underserved. To address this gap, we propose a translational four-pillar framework for ESS-aware AI injury monitoring in youth sport. Bridging technological capabilities with developmental physiology through structured AI surveillance provides a structured risk-monitoring roadmap with the potential to inform preventative strategies, optimize physical readiness, and support long-term musculoskeletal health in youth athletes.
