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

Motor racing is a physically and mentally demanding sport, associated with a high degree of risk for drivers. Hence, driving simulation provides a safe alternative to explore the impact acute physiological perturbations (e.g. heat stress or dehydration) on a driver's performance. This study aimed to determine sensitive and reliable simulated driving performance parameters that could be employed in future driving performance studies. Thirty-six healthy males (age: 26.5 ± 8.1 y, body mass: 75.6 ± 12.2 kg, mean ± SD) completed a single experimental trial involving four simulated motor-racing drives (2 initial drives and 2 repeat drives) separated by a 1 h period. Drives were conducted under two conditions, with one condition (wearing Fatal Vision Goggles (FVG)) designed to impair driving performance by distorting vision. Sensitivity was assessed by comparing Normal vs FVG outcomes and reliability was determined by comparing initial vs repeat drives for the same condition. Measures of driving performance included lap time (LT), sector-time (ST) for one section of the track, position displacement to a marker on the first track corner (PD), and vehicle Speed at PD. Results indicated that LT and ST were reliable and sensitive performance measures to a visual disturbance. However, PD was neither sensitive nor reliable and Speed at PD was not sensitive as driving performance measures to the study conditions. Overall, this study demonstrates two sensitive and reliable performance measures (LT and ST) that can be used to assess simulated motor-racing performance in future investigations.
