ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TACKLING TECHNIQUE AND HEAD ACCELERATION MAGNITUDE IN YOUTH FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
Article in Biomedical sciences instrumentation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In order to address concerns about head injury in youth sports, a number of youth football organizations have developed rules and recommendations surrounding the tackling form which should be used in order to reduce unnecessary head impact exposure. Reduction in injury has been suggested with these programs, but association between tackling form and head acceleration magnitude has not been studied previously. To address this knowledge gap, grading criteria were developed from multiple youth organizations' recommendations for a collision. A total of 142 tackles from a youth football team were graded. Head acceleration data were collected from helmet-mounted accelerometer arrays. An association was found between poor form and resultant head acceleration being greater than 40 g for both the tackler and the ball carrier. This study demonstrates the potential usefulness of tackling technique coaching programs in youth football.
