Collegiate Adapted Athlete Baseline Performance on the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening.
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
contextConcussion assessment in adapted and parasport athletes has continued to evolve with growing considerations in parasports, but little is known about vestibular/ocular performance assessment in this sample.
objectiveTo examine baseline performance on the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) in collegiate adapted athletes. A secondary objective was to investigate the role of sex, history of concussion, and functional classification on baseline measures.
designCross-sectional study.
settingUniversity adapted athletics facility. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsFifty-four collegiate adapted athletes (age = 21.19 ± 2.6 years) from multiple institutions' adapted athletics programs across the United States. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Adapted athletes completed a baseline VOMS assessment while at the host university for in-season competition and tournaments. Independent variables were sex, history of concussion and functional classification (1.0-4.5 at 0.5 intervals). Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening performance consisted of pretest symptoms (headache, dizziness, nausea, and fogginess) and postitem (eg, smooth pursuits, saccades) symptom provocation or change from pretest scores.
resultsA proportion of 50.9% reported zero symptom provocation on the VOMS, with 72% having no pretest symptoms. No sex differences were noted on the VOMS (P > .05); however, adapted athletes with a history of concussion reported greater VOMS provocation on horizontal saccades (P = .008) than those with no history. Higher functional classifications (2.0-4.5) reported greater provocation on horizontal saccades (P = .010), horizontal and vertical (P = .043 and .048) vestibular/ocular reflex, and vestibular/ocular reflex cancellation (P = .036) than 1.0-1.5 athletes.
conclusionsOur findings provide context for baseline VOMS performance in collegiate adapted athletes and identifying modifiers at baseline. Special consideration is warranted on vestibular and oculomotor assessment in adapted and parasport athletes with a history of concussion and higher functional classifications.
