Development of a Low-Power Instrumented Mouthpiece for Directly Measuring Head Acceleration in American Football.
Article in Annals of 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.
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
Instrumented mouthpieces (IM) offer a means of measuring head impacts that occur in sport. Direct measurement of angular head kinematics is preferential for accuracy; however, existing IMs measure angular velocity and differentiate the measurement to calculate angular acceleration, which can limit bandwidth and consume more power. This study presents the development and validation of an IM that uses new, low-power accelerometers for direct measurement of linear and angular acceleration over a broad range of head impact conditions in American football. IM sensor accuracy for measuring six-degree-of-freedom head kinematics was assessed using two helmeted headforms instrumented with a custom-fit IM and reference sensor instrumentation. Head impacts were performed at 10 locations and 6 speeds representative of the on-field conditions associated with injurious and non-injurious impacts in American football. Sensor measurements from the IM were highly correlated with those from the reference instrumentation located at the maxilla and skull center of gravity. Based on pooled data across headform and impact location, R
