Individual and Combined Effects of Sport-Related Concussion and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury on Neurocognitive and Neuromechanical Reaction Time.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2025. 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
contextRecent epidemiological data have indicated a potential connection between sport-related concussion (SRC) and elevated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. Limited research exists in which authors have quantified cognitive and motor outcome measures between SRC and ACL injury history.
objectiveTo examine the individual and combined effects of a history of SRC and ACL injury and reconstruction (ACLR) on neurocognitive and neuromechanical function.
designCross-sectional study.
settingResearch laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsForty-seven recreationally active college individuals with either an injury history of SRC (n = 12), ACLR (n = 12), combination of SRC + ACLR (n = 11), or uninjured controls (n = 12). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Participants completed a neurological battery using the C3 Logix application and TRAZER system for neuromechanical reaction time (RT). C3 Logix subtests consisted of the Trail Making Test (TMT) A, B, and B - A; simple and choice RT; and processing speed. TRAZER subtests consisted of simple, Flanker-task, and Stroop-task RT. Participants were categorized into 3 group comparisons of either (i) SRC, ACLR, SRC + ACLR, and controls, (ii) any or no SRC overall, or (iii) any or no ACLR overall.
resultsNo differences were demonstrated between SRC, ACLR, SRC + ACLR, and controls on TMT (P = .07-.14), neurocognitive (P = .14-.93), or neuromechanical (P = .64-.99) performance. Those with any SRC had slower TMT B - A times (P = .03), while those with any ACLR had slower TMT A (P = .02) times than those with no ACLR. No differences were noted for the TRAZER simple, Flanker, or Stroop RT for any or no SRC and ACLR groups.
conclusionsCollege students with a combined effect of SRC and ACLR did not differ from other groups on neurocognition and neuromechanical RT. Individuals with a history of SRC or ACLR had a worse TMT, leading to inquiry about potential long-term neurological deficits, despite no differences in those with a combined history.
