An envelope of linear and rotational head motion during everyday activities.
Article in Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Various studies have characterized head kinematics in specific everyday activities by looking at linear and/or rotational acceleration characteristics, but each has evaluated a limited number of activities. Furthermore, these studies often present dissimilar and sometimes incomplete descriptions of the resulting kinematics, so the characteristics of normal everyday activities as a whole are not easily collectively summarized. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the literature investigating head kinematics associated with everyday activities and to generate a comprehensive kinematic boundary envelope describing these motions. The envelope constructed constitutes the current state of published knowledge regarding 'normally occurring' head accelerations. The envelope of kinematics represents activities commonly encountered and posing zero to minimal risk of injury to healthy individuals. Several kinematic measures, including linear accelerations, rotational velocities, and rotational accelerations, one may encounter as a result of normal everyday activities are summarized. A total of 11 studies encompassing 49 unique activities were evaluated. Examples of activities include sitting in a chair, jumping off a step, running, and walking. The peak resultant linear accelerations of the head reported in the literature were all less than 15 g, while the peak resultant rotational accelerations and rotational velocities approach 1375 rad/s
