Age-Related Variations in Clinical Profiles for Children with Sports- and Recreation-Related Concussions.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
objectiveThe purpose was to examine clinical profiles in concussed children aged 5-9 and 10-12 years and compare them with those of adolescents >12 years.
methodsThis study included patients aged 5-18 years presenting to a specialty care concussion program with a sports- and recreation-related (SRR) concussion ≤28 days postinjury. Demographics, injury mechanisms, symptoms, and clinical features were assessed. Chi-squared tests, one-way ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis were used for comparisons across age groups.
resultsA total of 3280 patients with SRR concussion were included: 5.0% were 5-9 years, 18.4% were 10-12 years, and 76.6% were 13-18 years. Younger age groups had more males than females (5-9 years: 70.7% vs. 29.3%) and more commonly sustained their injury during limited- (28.7%), and non-contact (7.9%) activities compared to other age groups (
conclusionsAmong SRR-concussed children and adolescents, we found significant age-related variations in demographics, injury mechanism, symptoms, and clinical features. Recognizing these unique features in younger children may facilitate targeted management and treatment.
