Gait Performance Is Associated with Subsequent Lower Extremity Injury following Concussion.
Article in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
purposeThe purpose was to examine gait characteristics between collegiate athletes who did and did not sustain a lower-extremity musculoskeletal (LEMSK) injury in the year after concussion.
methodsThirty-four NCAA collegiate athletes with diagnosed concussions were divided into two groups based on if they did (n = 16) or did not (n = 18) sustain a LEMSK in the year after concussion. Participants completed baseline testing before the start of the season and again at return to play postconcussion. Injuries were tracked using an electronic medical database. Participants were instrumented with three APDM Opal triaxial accelerometers and performed five single-task (ST) and five dual-task (DT) gait trials. Participants traversed a 10-meter walkway, turned around a specified endpoint, and returned to the original line. During DT, participants simultaneously walked and answered mini-mental style questions. A linear mixed-effects model assessed interactions and/or main effects between groups for gait speed, double support time, cadence, stride length, and cognitive accuracy.
resultsThe LEMSK group walked slower (ST, 1.15 ± 0.10 m·s; DT, 1.01 ± 0.10 m·s) than the uninjured group (ST, 1.23 ± 0.11 m·s; DT, 1.10 ± 0.11 m·s) during both ST (P = 0.04) and DT (P = 0.03). The injury group spent longer in double support (ST, 20.19% ± 2.34%; DT, 21.92% ± 2.13%) than the uninjured group (ST, 18.16% ± 2.60%; DT, 20.00% ± 2.32%) during both ST (P = 0.02) and DT (P = 0.02). The injury group had a significantly lower cognitive accuracy (89.56% ± 6.48%) than the uninjured group (95.40% ± 7.08%) across time points (P = 0.02).
conclusionsThere were significant differences in gait characteristics and cognitive accuracy between those who did and did not sustain a LEMSK injury after concussion. The LEMSK group demonstrated a conservative gait strategy both before and after their concussive injury.
