The King-Devick test of rapid number naming for concussion detection: meta-analysis and systematic review of the literature.
Review in Concussion (London, England), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03355339 (The Effect of Binasal Occlusion on Balance Following a Concussion), which is not on this map. Cited by 46 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.

Abstract
backgroundVision encompasses a large component of the brain's pathways, yet is not represented in current sideline testing.
objectivesWe performed a meta-analysis of published data for a vision-based test of rapid number naming (King-Devick [K-D] test). STUDIES &
methodsPooled and meta-analysis of 15 studies estimated preseason baseline K-D scores and sensitivity/specificity for identifying concussed versus nonconcussed control athletes.
resultBaseline K-D (n = 1419) showed a weighted estimate of 43.8 s (95% CI: 40.2, 47.5;
conclusionRapid number naming adds to sideline assessment and contributes a critical dimension of vision to sports-related concussion testing.
