The Adolescent Patient Perspective on Activity Limitations After Sport-Related Concussion.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
contextAssessment of sport-related concussion (SRC) has begun to include patient-reported outcome measures. However, understanding of which health limitations are most meaningful to adolescents after SRC is limited.
objectiveTo explore patient-perceived activity limitations after SRC and throughout recovery to return to play and mapped according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model.
designLongitudinal study.
settingSecondary school athletic training facilities. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsFifty patients (41 males, 5 females, 4 sex not reported, age = 14.9 ± 3.5 years, grade = 10.2 ± 0.93 level) with a medically diagnosed SRC. INTERVENTION(S): The Patient Specific-Functional Scale (PSFS) was used to assess changes in the patient's condition and the effect the injury posed on their ability to perform activities. The PSFS is a self-reported assessment of health used to identify activity limitations and rate the difficulty of performing those tasks. The PSFS was administered to patients on days 3 (D3) and 10 (D10) after SRC and at return to play. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Activities affected by injury were coded into common categories and themes by a 3-person research team for subsequent analysis. The coded themes were also mapped to the ICF domains, chapters, and categories. The dependent variables were the PSFS themes, number of activities endorsed, PSFS scores, ICF domains, chapters, and categories. Descriptive analyses and frequencies were reported for the dependent variables.
resultsA total of 157 different activities were identified at D3 and coded into 28 categories that fit into 6 themes: activities of daily living, cognitive and school (COG), sports and physical activity (SPA), screen time, sleep, and social. On D3, all patients (50/50) identified at least 1 activity limitation. Most related to SPA (37.6%) and COG (31.2%). Sixty percent of patients endorsed activity limitations at D10, primarily in COG (38.6%) and SPA (36.6%). All (100%) response categories were mapped to the ICF, with most (75%) fitting the activities and participation domain.
conclusionsOur primary findings suggest that SRC influences many facets of the lives of adolescent athletes. Specifically, adolescent athletes identified activity restrictions primarily related to physical activity and sports participation.
