Finite element simulation of head impacts in mixed martial arts.
Article in Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Thirteen MMA athletes were fitted with the MiG2.0 Stanford instrumented mouthguard. 451 video confirmed impacts were recoded during sparring sessions and competitive events. The competitive events resulted in five concussions. The impact with the highest angular acceleration from each event was simulated using the GHBMC head model. Average strain in the corpus callosum of concussed fighters was 0.27, which was 87.9% higher than uninjured fighters and was the best strain indicator of concussion. The best overall predictor of concussion found in this study was shear stress in the corpus callosum which differed by 111.4% between concussed and uninjured athletes.
