1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

contextObjective and expedient assessments of standing postural control incorporating static and dynamic tasks are necessary for identifying subtle motor deficits and clearing children to return to high-risk activities after concussion. The Revised Physical and Neurological Examination for Subtle Signs (PANESS) gaits and stations tasks evaluate both static and dynamic aspects of postural control. While the PANESS gaits and stations subscale is sensitive to concussion in youth, the benefit of each specific task for this purpose is unknown. PURPOSE: This study evaluated whether specific PANESS tasks identify postural impairments after youth concussion.

designCross-sectional study.

settingAcademicallyaffiliated research laboratory.

participantsSixty youth, ages 10-17 years, comprised 3 groups: (1) youth symptomatic from concussion (4-14 d postinjury [n = 18]), (2) clinically-recovered youth (27-122 d postinjury [n = 15]), and (3) age- and gender-matched never-concussed controls (n = 27).

main outcome measurePANESS gaits and stations tasks (6 dynamic and 3 static) at the time of the initial research visit.

resultsKruskal-Wallis statistic identified a significant main effect of group on standing on one foot (a 30-s task). Both symptomatic and clinically-recovered youth showed deficits on standing on one foot relative to controls.

conclusionsSingle-leg tasks of longer duration may maximize the ability to detect residual postural deficits after concussion and can be readily incorporated in targeted sport rehabilitation protocols.
