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

backgroundDismounted military operations require soldiers to complete cognitive tasks whilst undertaking demanding and repeated physical taskings.

objectiveTo assess the effects of repeated fast load carriage bouts on cognitive performance, perceptual responses, and psychophysiological markers.

methodsTwelve civilian males (age, 28 ± 8 y; stature, 186 ± 6 cm; body mass 84.3 ± 11.1 kg; V̇O

resultsA main effect of bout on MSANT combined score metric (

conclusionDespite the increase in physiological and psychological stress, cognitive performance was largely maintained; purportedly a result of increased mental effort. APPLICATION: Given the likely increase in dual-task interference in the field environment compared with the laboratory, military commanders should seek approaches to manage cognitive load where possible, to maintain soldier performance.
