Persistent vestibular-ocular impairment following concussion in adolescents.

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
objectivesThe current study investigated the role of persistent vestibular-ocular symptoms and impairment following sport-related concussion on recovery time and clinical outcomes among adolescents.
designProspective cohort.
methods50 (F-22/M-28) adolescents aged 12-20 years completed a vestibular-ocular motor screening, neurocognitive assessment, and the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) at clinical assessments conducted at 0-10 and 11-21 days after concussion. Participants were assigned to: 1) persistent vestibular-ocular (PERSIST), 2) vestibular-ocular improvement (IMPROVE), or 3) no vestibular-ocular impairment (NONE) groups based on vestibular-ocular motor screening conducted during each assessment. A 3 (GROUP) X 2 (TIME) ANOVA was performed on neurocognitive and symptom scores, and a between-subjects ANOVA was performed for recovery time.
results49 subjects were identified among the PERSIST (n=17), IMPROVE (n=12) and NONE (n=20) groups. There were no neurocognitive performance differences between groups at 0-10 days post-concussion, but groups differed on PCSS at 11-21 days (p=.001), with the PERSIST (29.0±24.9) group reporting higher symptoms than the NONE (5.45±10.0; p=.005) group. The PERSIST group took significantly longer to recover (34.9±11.6 days) than the NONE (22.9±14.9 days) group (p=.03). All groups improved on verbal (p<.001) and visual memory (p=.028), visual motor speed (p=.005), and reaction time (p=.004) from 0-10 to 11-20 days following SRC and no significant group by time interactions for cognitive scores identified.
conclusionsPersistent post-concussion vestibular-ocular symptoms and impairment may influence neurocognitive performance and clinical recovery following sport-related concussion.
