Recovery Process for Sports-Related Concussion Assessed with Precise Ocular Motility.
Article in Sports medicine international open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ocular motility has been linked to Sports Concussion Assessment Tool 5 scores. However, the link between ocular motility changes and assessment result changes remains unclear. Hence, we investigated that potential link in patients with sports-related concussions. We retrospectively included participants aged≥18 years who were diagnosed with a sports-related concussion. They underwent smooth pursuit eye movement assessment for allocation to the good improvement (rate of fundamental frequency≥15%) or minor improvement (<15%) groups. Sports Concussion Assessment Tool 5 scores were determined at baseline and two weeks later, and score changes were compared between the groups. Thirteen men (mean±standard deviation age: 20.6±5.0 years) were included: eight (19.0±4.5 years) in the good improvement group and five (20.6±5.7 years) in the minor improvement group. Symptom number (median=2.0 vs. 0.0), symptom severity (median=22.0 vs. 3.0), single-leg stance (median=4.0 vs. 0.5), tandem stance (median=1.0 vs. 0.0), and total errors (median=5.0 vs. 0.5) were worse (all p<0.05) in the minor improvement group. Smooth pursuit eye movement improvements measured using eye-tracking technology was linked to symptom recovery in patients with sports-related concussions. Therefore, ocular motility may be an objective indicator of sports-related concussions. Future studies with more patients are needed to confirm these findings.
