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

objectiveTo study the effect of early prescribed aerobic exercise versus relative rest on rate of recovery in male adolescents acutely after sport-related concussion (SRC).

designQuasi-experimental design.

settingUniversity sports medicine centers.

participantsExercise group (EG, n = 24, 15.13 ± 1.4 years, 4.75 ± 2.5 days from injury) and rest group (RG, n = 30, 15.33 ± 1.4 years, 4.50 ± 2.1 days from injury).

interventionsExercise group performed a progressive program of at least 20 minutes of daily subthreshold aerobic exercise. Rest group was prescribed relative rest (no structured exercise). Both groups completed daily online symptom reports (Postconcussion Symptom Scale) for 14 days.

main outcome measuresDays to recovery after treatment prescription. Recovery was defined as return to baseline symptoms, exercise tolerant, and judged recovered by physician examination.

resultsRecovery time from initial visit was significantly shorter in EG (8.29 ± 3.9 days vs 23.93 ± 41.7 days, P = 0.048). Mixed-effects linear models showed that all symptom clusters decreased with time and that there was no significant interaction between treatment group and time. No EG participants experienced delayed recovery (>30 days), whereas 13% (4/30) of RG participants experienced delayed recovery.

conclusionsThese preliminary data suggest that early subthreshold aerobic exercise prescribed to symptomatic adolescent males within 1 week of SRC hastens recovery and has the potential to prevent delayed recovery.
