Finite Element Analysis of Impact for Helmeted and Non-helmeted Head.
Article in Journal of medical and biological engineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
This study investigated the influence of human head impact on the severity of traumatic brain injury. Simulation of the dynamic impact of a human head was performed using FEM (finite element method) and employing HIC (Head Injury Criterion). The study of traumatic brain injury included impacts with the occiput, temporal, forehead, and parietal part of the head, and the impact velocity at the surface ranged from 1 to 7 m/s. The following characteristics were considered and analyzed in the simulation: duration of the impact, intracranial pressure, HIC, and change in accelerations at the center of gravity of the brain. The computed distribution of pressure values in the brain during an impact confirmed the theory of inertial intracranial brain displacement. The effect of a protective helmet aimed at reducing the severity of traumatic brain injury was investigated, and a method to determine rational helmet parameters was developed. In the case of the protected head, impact acceleration occurred over a longer period of time, which yielded a reduction in the brain load compared to the unprotected head. The developed method allows us to predict the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the protected/unprotected human head and to provide recommendations for the determination of rational parameters for manufacturing personal protective equipment for the head.
